Maksim Chmerkovskiy is still sharing his first hand account of the very tense situation on the ground in Ukraine.
As we’ve been reporting, the Dancing with the Stars pro was stuck in Kyiv, Ukraine when Russian forces invaded the country. Maks has posted frequent updates on the situation from his perspective, as well as relating accounts he has heard from friends elsewhere in the country.

On Monday, he shared another update, including a friend’s experience traveling to the Polish border and a request that all the refugees fleeing the country be treated the same. (The dancer didn’t verify an Insider report that African students had been discriminated against at the border, but acknowledged “when there’s smoke, there’s fire.”)
As for himself, he reported:
Wow. How surreal.
He continued:
He added a final request for fans who have been following his journey:
Gosh… we totally understand where he’s coming from, but it’s hard not to feel nervous about the 42-year-old going off the grid.
We hope he has a safe and quick journey back home to wife Peta Murgatroyd and their daughter Shai.
In another emotional video from Sunday, Maks decided to “expose” his feelings “in a more personal manner.” He shared:

He expressed his pride for the Ukrainian people and urged his audience to speak up for an end to the violence.
He concluded:
This situation is so unimaginable. We can only join Maks in praying for a peaceful resolution.
We hope he makes it home safely and that his fellow Ukranians will have safety in their own country soon.
