Maksim Chmerkovskiy is no longer Ukrainian and had no duty to stay and fight Putin's army because he is technically American after fleeing Odessa as a 14-year-old refugee in 1994 and automatically losing his citizenship in the process, friends have claimed. Chmerkovskiy, 42, was in filming World of Dance when Putin invaded on February 24. He had been delighting fans with behind the scenes footage from the show, and telling them how he had fallen 'in love' with the country again. He escaped war on a train packed with women and children and returned home to Malibu, where he lives with his wife and son, last week.
