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???
