Now he has put a stop to entertainment activities and is engaged in volunteering.. Together with his brother and father, Max Chmerkovsky founded the Baranova 27 charitable foundation, which managed to prepare a modular town of 40 houses, which will be located in the Lviv region. He says that he does not plan to stop there and leave volunteer activities..

" We realized that events are dragging on and my personal schedule is now life day by day. I don't make big plans for the months ahead. Now I devote most of my time to helping Ukraine. I can't turn off this connection that happened during 8 months of my very frequent stay in Ukraine. My goal is to demonstrate my love, friendship with Ukraine and do everything I can,"

The choreographer himself sees that the level of media attention to the war in Ukraine has somewhat decreased, but he observes that the number of volunteers is only increasing: they come daily to the foundation and help.

" They come to the meeting point of our Baranova 27 Foundation, we don’t know these people and didn’t invite them, but they know about us and help every day,” the choreographer emphasized..

According to Chmerkovsky, aid for Ukraine comes from various organizations, but this is simply not publicly covered.. As for the creation of a modular town, the choreographer emphasized that the creation was inspired by the factor that many people leave the country not of their own free will, but simply because they have nowhere to live and they seek asylum abroad. Charitable organization Leo States helped to realize the goal of the choreographer's foundation.

" I went through emigration and I want to note to everyone: this is not very pleasant. Especially if you talk about the fact that you did not want to leave the country, it was not your goal.. We realized that people need to be returned, but where should they go if the cities are destroyed. Even during recovery, these people need to live somewhere,"

For the comfort of future residents of the houses, primarily for children, the adjacent territory will be equipped along with playgrounds. Also, the town is built so that there is nature and trees nearby.. As the dancer says, the houses will be fully equipped with furniture and even refrigerators filled with food..

Now Chmerkovsky has many relatives and friends who remained in Ukraine. Some of them are in Odessa, native to the choreographer, everything is fine with them, and some of the friends are at the forefront. Max says: every day the entire Ukrainian people worries about them, on whose fate such terrible events fell.

The popular choreographer is sure that only victory awaits Ukraine and really wants it to come as soon as possible. In addition, Chmerkovsky said that he dreams of giving a big dance concert in Odessa, a free and peaceful Ukraine..

" I really want to perform on the stage of my beloved Odessa Opera House. And now the war has given even more desire for everything to be Ukraine, and we have realized all our goals,"
