Russian mother gets a phone call from Ukraine, telling her that her son has been captured by the Ukrainian Army.

She proceeds to ask the most important question.

Is the iPhone 13 he was gifted back home whole & safe?

Maybe they can send the phone back?

Putin not caring whether you live or die, that's one thing. But your own mother???

2. Or possibly desperation on the home front.

Maybe she considers her son safe as a Ukraine POW, and the rest of her family in Russia in worse circumstances.

If in fact she just cares more about the phone, perhaps he can become a Ukrainian citizen.

3. So intriguing I listened again.

Kindest interpretation I can think of is that she trusts Ukraine and is relieved he is a POW there.

Weird.

4. Maybe she's hoping she'll be able to contact her son.

Judge not…etc etc.

5. Are they capable of compassion of any kind?

Are they all cold blooded?

6. An older friend of ours has a girlfriend in Russia he has not seen in almost 3 years

They talk (carefully) on the phone frequently, and he says it is scary how her whole thinking has been tainted by 3 years of nothing but Putin’s media.
