He's been trying to get his wife into Canada for the last 6 months, a Visa process that normally takes 2-3 weeks is obviously slowed, he's frustrated. He's an English teacher and he's still working remotely but all his money is stuck in Russia, he can't get it out. We joked how his wife is living high with all his money that he had saved, continues to earn but can't get out of the Country due to the military action in Ukraine.

She'll probably need to cross a land border and fly from another country now, since there's a mass exodus and airlines are all booked. He's lucky he's not with her now, because he wouldn't be allowed to leave as of yesterday, and wouldn't be able to buy a flight if there was one available
Good luck to them and every normal person in Russia
