[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do what the other pp have said. Tell her you are worried about her and her family. Tell you you will help her leave and will help her find a place to live.  But if she decides to stay the offer is always available and that you will pray for all of her family (including her husband and in-laws)[/quote]

If it was my sister then I'd do this plus offer her a place for her, her husband and her kids to live.  I wouldn't be excited about hosting the in laws too, but if my sister asked, I'd say yes.  But we have a large house with an in law suite. [/quote]

I assume it will be impossible for Russians without another passport to get a visa to come to the US. I don't think the issue is OP's reluctance to host the inlaws but more likely that the inlaws can't land in any Western country at the moment?[/quote]

Personally, I don't care about the in-laws or the husband, but I'm not the OP. I'd do or say whatever I needed to get my sister and niece out and figure out the rest.[/quote]
You don’t think the sister might not want to leave her husband? [b]Would you, in a similar situation?  [/b]:roll: [/quote]

PP here. I would 100% leave my husband behind in this situation if he did not want to leave.[/quote]
WHAT. Do people even value marriage nowadays? [/quote]

DP. I would think many if not most mothers would leave behind a spouse if necessary to save a child. I would hope most fathers would encourage their wives to take the child and get to safety. Goodness knows this is the choice plenty of Ukrainian families are making thanks to the Russian government. OP's sister would be nuts to pass up an opportunity to accept OP's help getting herself and her child out of the sinking ship mess that is Russia right now, and then work on getting the husband here too once the kid is at least safe.[/quote]
