Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said Thursday that his mother-in-law managed to get out of Ukraine a week into Russia’s invasion of the country.
During a segment of The Five, Gutfeld said his in-law had safely “crossed into Poland” after being stuck in Ukraine for about a week.

“She’s in a car on her way to Warsaw to see her daughter Elena,” Gutfeld said, adding that she had crossed over the border in the past half-hour.
A day earlier, Gutfeld spoke about how he believed his mother-in-law was holed up at a hotel located in the city of Lviv.
“I think she’s at your hotel,” Gutfeld told Fox News reporter Lucas Tomlinson. “So if you run into her, give her my best. And give everyone there my best.” Gutfeld thanked the people at the news network for “helping out a little old lady they just met” to find a hotel in Lviv.
Lviv, a city in western Ukraine, has become a place for the displaced to gather after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion one week ago, with much of the fighting taking place in the east.

On Wednesday, Gutfeld also described his co-workers, who he said have been “helping” him out despite him being “a grouchy, cynical bastard,” as being “unbelievably awesome.”
“People have been helping me out,” Gutfeld said, “somebody who has been obnoxious to them before and will probably be obnoxious after.”
The United Nations released a report Thursday saying more than 1 million Ukrainians had abandoned their homes in the past week.
