Maksim Chmerkovskiy has shared a new update from Ukraine.
"I'm out here, again, I'm safe. We haven't been told to move, and I'm just following instructions. That's all I can say," Chmerkovskiy said.
"But the reality is that I'm also talking to my friends that are here, the Ukrainians, and the situation is pretty dire."
Chmerkovskiy said "people are being mobilized" in Ukraine and that "the whole country is being called to go to war.""Men, women, boys... are going forward and getting guns and getting deployed to defend the country," he said.
Chmerkovskiy said in a second video that he is "not currently trying to leave" Ukraine.
Chmerkovskiy, who is Ukrainian-American, was staying at a hotel in Kyiv when the Russian invasion began earlier this week.
He said Thursday that he will "never be the same" after living through the experience.
Chmerkovskiy's wife, "Dancing with the Stars" pro Peta Murgatroyd, asked for prayers for Chmerkovskiy in an Instagram post Thursday.
"Please pray that he comes home soon... Please pray that he has a swift, safe exit," Murgatroyd wrote.
"I have FAITH. I have HOPE and I have PRAYED so hard. Please pray for Ukraine and the innocent civilians who's lives are being greatly uprooted."
NATO leaders and heads of member states attended an emergency meeting Friday to address the latest developments in the invasion.
