Former College Basketball Player Recounts Escaping Ukraine Amid Russia’s Invasion

Former college basketball player Maurice Creek found himself in Ukraine during Russia’s invasion and recounted his experience while trying to get out of the country and back to the U.S.

“You start really feeling the actual effects of the war,” Creek told ABC News. “Like, I was getting jets going across my building, then I have to go to the bomb shelter and I look on social media, you see one jet hit one lady’s house like with a bomb like you know, with a missile. And it’s like, dude, I’m not sleeping today. I’m not doing that.
