In a video shared on her Instagram Stories Wednesday, the 35-year-oldDancing with the Starspro cried and told fans, “This is continually breaking my heart.”
“I’m struggling to get through some days,” shecontinued. “Sometimes I have great days, other days I have terrible days because I just can’t get this out of my head.”
“I’ve walked those streets, I’ve been there. It is such a beautiful country,” she said of Ukraine. “And the children that are dying right now…”
She then urged her followers to watch gripping footage she previously shared on herInstagramfeed that shows Ukraine suffering several explosive attacks.
Murgatroyd added in her Instagram Story that “just because” husbandMaks Chmerkovskiyis “home for now” after recentlyescaping Ukraine, that “does not mean that we aren’t continually doing stuff to try to help, and we aren’t continually thinking about what’s going on there every single day. Please be aware of that.”
Earlier this month, Murgatroyd expressed relief after Chmerkovskiy returned home safely.
“Now it’s time to heal,” she continued. “We cannot go back to our normal. Our lives are forever changed. We have a new normal, and that’s ok.”

Chmerkovskiy is now planning to return to Eastern Europe to help Ukrainians in need.
“I spent the last couple of days withsurvivor’s remorse, and I’m currently working on an opportunity to go back,” he previously told CNN’sAnderson Cooperin an on-air interview. “Probably sometime next week I’m going to go back to Poland and join efforts on the ground. Sort of want to justify my safe out that way.”
Putin insists Ukraine has historic ties to Russia, and he is acting in the best security interests of his country. Zelenskyy vowed not to bend. “Nobody is going to break us, we’re strong, we’re Ukrainians,“he told the European Unionin a speech in the early days of the fighting, adding, “Life will win over death. And light will win over darkness.”
