An American father is relieved to learn his 2-year-old son has safely made it out of the besieged Ukrainian coastal city of Mariupol.
FILE -This 2021 photo provided by Angel Quintana shows Cesar Quintana, and Cesar's son, Alexander Quintana. Quintana is trying to find a way to get his son back to California but the boy is now in Russia with Quintana's estranged Ukrainian-American wife and her family after they escaped from the coastal Ukrainian city of Mariupol.
"With the child now sitting in Russia, my expectation is the father's California custody order will probably mean very little,” Kucinski said. The war drove Quintana to desperation. He sent money to Aslanova when the invasion began, but communication was cut off as the city of Mariupol fell under siege. When he couldn't reach his son, Quintana asked Ukrainian officials for permission to travel to the war-torn country to find him. He was planning to buy a plane ticket to Europe when he said the State Department confirmed the boy, Aslanova and her family had escaped to Russia.
