Maksim Chmerkovskiy Gives New Update, Is 'Hopefully' Escaping Ukraine on Train to Warsaw

Maksim Chmerkovskiy is giving fans an update on his whereabouts after being trapped in Ukraine amid the invasion from Russia.

The Dancing With the Stars pro has revealed that he’s on a train that will hopefully take him out of Ukraine and to Poland.

“I made it on the train. We’re heading to Warsaw (hopefully). Train to Lviv was not an option,” he said.

He continued, “The situation at the train station is insane. At first it feels manageable, but it gets A LOT worse when it comes time to actually board the train. Long story but all I can say now is that I’m a big man with nothing but a backpack it’s TRAUMATIZING.”

“Currently I’m in a cabin with 4 adults and 7 kids (ages 2-11) which usually is only occupied by maximum of 3 people,” he said. “There’s usually up to 30 people in this particular wagon. We were told we have to fit 135. Walkways are packed. People everywhere. It’s sweaty and claustrophobic.”

Maks added, “What finally broke me is when I was watching an eight-ish year old boy, hysterically crying and not wanting to let go of his father. Verbatim: ‘If you stay I want to say too because if they kill you I won’t be able to help.’”

Earlier in the day, Maks revealed he was arrested in Ukraine and was trying to make his way out.

Maks called out one of his former Dancing partners this weekend after she made insensitive comments about the war.
