Chmerkovskiy was in his native country working on a dance competition series when the Russian invasion broke out.
He was forced to leave and went to Poland. He shared a post Tuesday morning showing he made it there safely.
The Ukrainian-American dancer praised Poland and its people for accepting Ukrainian refugees into their country during this troubling time.

In a video he released Monday, Chmerkovskiy said he had been arrested in Kyiv.
"At one point I got arrested," he said. "But -- again -- all good. I promise. But that was probably the least traumatizing moment in this whole thing, as far as Ukraine is concerned, but for me it was just a reality check."
