The parents ofRust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins are stranded in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv currently under attack from the Russian military, her husband Matt has said.
In a tweet from his private account, Matt Hutchins said Ukraine-born Halyna’s parents Olga and Anatoly Androsovych remained in Kyiv to “prepare for the worst”.
Born in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, in 1979, Halyna grew up on the Soviet base “surrounded by reindeer and nuclear submarines.”
Halyna’s sister Svetlana escaped safely to Romania with her three-year-old daughter and will “continue onward to western Europe”, Hutchins added.
