I think everyone should keep all networks up and functional as long as 
possible and let information flow.

The big issue, of course, will be the filling of the media with so much 
crap that no one knows what to believe.  Apparently, they are attacking 
the Ukraine government.  Regular people that are not being targeted, 
except for those unfortunate folks that are 'collateral damage".  
Russian and Ukraine folks are family and friends for the most part.  No 
one on either side wants to see each other targeted.

AFAIK, cell phones and internet in Ukraine are working.  Someone I know 
called their friend in Ukraine who was on a cell.  That person said 
Ukrainians generally are scared, but not panicking. Good call.
