Alexander Spektor, an associate professor of Russian and the Russian program coordinator at the University of Georgia, went on CNN Tuesday evening to talk about the efforts to get his preemie twins, who were born via surrogate, to a safe place in Ukraine.

Spektor said he is "incredibly worried" and still "incredibly hopeful" for the twins' safety. The infants, born at 32 weeks in Kyiv, had transferred hospitals, Spektor told CNN's Erin Burnett.

The hospital where the twins were born, but had moved from, suffered significant damage on Tuesday, according to the CNN report.
