Ukraine's 'humanitarian catastrophe' is happening right now, says 'traumatized' Ukrainian American

A Ukrainian American woman who lives near Boston said Monday that she can no longer speak on the phone with her own mother, who lives in southern Ukraine — and she described scenes of crisis and danger as Russia attacks.

Babies are being born in the midst of war — "and some of the newborns are dying." The slaughtered family members — five people in all — are shown lying on a road outside their car. 

Some people have had their cellphones taken away by incoming soldiers as Russian forces take control of a town and several surrounding villages there, the woman reported.
