Popular MTV star Johnny Bananas described his experience helping Ukrainian refugees on the Polish border to Page Six on a FaceTime call, and he didn’t sugarcoat it. “People are warming themselves by trash cans that are on fire and [using] makeshift tents,” he said. “These people had families, they had homes, they had jobs. And here they are a week later with nothing.” Bananas also told the outlet he thinks he “slept a total of six hours” since arriving in Ukraine and explained how “harrowing” some of his experience had been. The outlet reported that Johnny is now back home in Los Angeles.
Many celebrities have been offering support through fundraising and awareness campaigns, but Johnny is not the only one who’s actually been in the country. Most notably perhaps, Maks Chmerkovskiy of “Dancing With the Stars,” who is Ukrainian himself, has returned to Poland to help refugees after documenting his escape from Ukraine on social media. As of this writing, the dancer is still in Poland, where he revealed he would be giving a speech for the nonprofit organization, Global Empowerment Mission.
