“I will never be the same,” Chmerkovskiy captioned one of his earlier videos.
“This is stressful and I’m getting old feelings back, like I’ve done this before.
This does feel like the way it was when and why we left in the ’90s.
Like my old PTSD I’ve finally fixed is coming back.”
“I have a passport and a way out.
A lot of people do not, and it’s f—ing nonsense.
I love Ukraine, it’s an incredible pleasure to spend six months now on the ground.
I fell back in love.
I know now who these people are, what this country is, and what it stands for.
It is totally not what is being portrayed to the Russian people so you can justify this invasion.”
