“While we witness the courage of Ukrainians, but we also bear witness to the unimaginable burden that those who have chosen safety,” a Two-and-a Half Men alum, 44 captioned an Instagram video on Thursday March 3. This fundraiser, through GoFundMe will have an immediate impact on humanitarian and refugee aid efforts.
Kutcher, 38, sat alongside his wife as she talked about her childhood . “I was born in Chernivtsi in Ukraine in 1983. I arrived in America in 1991, and have always considered myself to be an American. A proud American,” Kunis said. “I am proud of everything this country has done to me and my family. Today, however, I am prouder to be Ukrainian than ever.”
The No Strings Attached actor said, “And I have never felt more proud to be married with a Ukrainian.”
Kunis addressed the “devastating news” coming out of Europe in the weeks since Russia invaded her country. She continued, “There is no place on this planet for such an unjust attack against humanity.”
They announced in 2015 that the former That’70s Show costars will match donations to a GoFundMe to help support refugees in Ukraine and humanitarian efforts. They plan to raise $30 million, and will match donations up to $3 million for Flexport and AirBnB. These two organizations assist in providing shelter and supplies to refugees fleeing to safety in Poland and other countries such as Hungary, Slovakia, Moldova, Slovakia, and Hungary.
Kunis concluded that “the people of Ukraine are brave and strong, but it doesn’t mean they’re not worthy support.”
Kutcher released a statement last month in support of the Spy who Dumped Me actress, and other Ukrainians. He tweeted on February 24: “I stand for Ukraine.”
The Bad Moms actress — who has daughter Wyatt, 7, and Dimitri, 5 — previously spoke out about her return to her homeland as an adult.
She told Net-aporter.com that it was “trippy” in November 2017. “There is a part of me that feels something towards [the place]. I had nothing. When we landed, Ashton said, “No?” [and I replied, “Yeah! Nothing.” You got nothing, babe. ‘”
Kunis continued, “We went to our home and knocked at the door to see inside. The new owner was adamant that she didn’t care. I told her, “I used to live here as a child, and my parents [are here] with me.” She refused to open the door. It was a very humble experience.
