A man who played basketball at the University of Maine and now plays professionally on a Ukrainian team is safe in Norway after fleeing Ukraine earlier this week.

But by this past weekend, Barnies felt the situation was"slowly escalating" and, as the U.S. government had already advised Americans to do, he made arrangements to leave.

Though he is now in Norway, Barnies has been in near-constant communication with Ukrainian and American friends who did not leave or were unable to before the Russian invasion began. Barnies also said he is"grateful" to be safe but he remains very concerned for people in Ukraine who are still in harm’s way.That lingering uncertainty about the end result and consequences of the invasion is what’s most unsettling to Barnies now.
