Today marks the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In this episode, Nicole sits down with Maks Chmerkovskiy, who was in Ukraine when the war broke out. Before February 2022, Maks was known as a Ukrainian-born, fan-favorite Dancing with the Stars alum… but when he was stuck in Ukraine following the breakout of the war, he became the window into the conflict for many of us in America. He tells Nicole what it was like fleeing the country, and what we can do now to help the people who couldn't leave.
