DWTS: Maks Chmerkovskiy Returns To Poland To Help Ukrainian Refugees
Maksim Chmerkovsky is back in Poland, working to help Ukrainian refugees, only a few weeks after the Dancing With The Stars pro returned home after the start of the war.

He did everything he could to document his experience living through the invasion and often went live on Instagram to educate his followers about what was actually going on in the country.

He explained that the train was so full, there was no room for him to sit down, leading him to feel guilty for taking up space in the train that could have gone to someone else. He described seeing small children scared for their lives and trying to make himself as small as possible in order not to take up so much space. Cameras were there to capture his emotional reunion with his wife, Peta Murgatroyd.
