Maksim was immediately greeted with an emotional hug from his wife, fellow dancer Peta Murgatroyd.

The 42-year-old was overseas as a judge for the Ukrainian version of “World of Dance” while his wife remained in Los Angeles with their 5-year-old son, Shai.

Speaking to reporters outside the airport terminal, Maksim said: “The reason why Ukraine is standing right now is because of the Ukrainian people.

“And the fact that the entire world is helping.”

He then made a plea for help on behalf of his homeland.

“If we don’t get involved, this thing is going to go everywhere else,” he expressed.

“I think that in 2022, following this action, we have to completely rethink the way we do things as a planet.

“There can never again be one person who can do something like this ever again.

We have to have checks and balances globally, not just one country at a time.”

CITY ON FIRE

After he arrived in Los Angeles, he shared an update to Instagram, showing the aftermath of a city on fire.

“WAR,” he captioned the post. “This is Zhytomyr RIGHT NOW!
100% CIVILIAN AREA!

“THEY ARE TRYING TO SAVE PEOPLE FROM UNDER THE BUILDING!”

UNDER ARREST

Just getting out of the country was a harrowing ordeal.

Amid the chaos the choreographer posted a video earlier in the week revealing he was arrested while trying to flee the country.

Late Monday afternoon, he posted an update to his Instagram story, confirming that he made it safely to a train and calling the scenario “traumatizing.”

“Currently I’m in a cabin with 4 adults and 7 kids (ages 2-11),” which would normally be occupied by only 3 people, Maksim explained.

“We’re heading to Warsaw (hopefully). Train to Lviv was not an option.”

He filmed a longer video earlier, while walking outside in Ukraine with buildings visible behind him.

“There’s a lot to unpack. I’m trying to stay focused. I’m going to try to make my way out,” he said in the five-minute update video.

“At one point, I got arrested,” Maksim told his followers, though he didn’t go into detail about when and where the arrest took place.

“For me, that was a reality check.”

A WORLD AWAY

Now safely back at home, Maksim is forced to watch the war unfold across the globe and hope for the best.

Standing with reporters on Wednesday, he confessed he will never be the same.

Like my old PTSD I’ve finally fixed is coming back.”

“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.
