Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky took to Zoom to praise two specific American actors, for their efforts to raise money for Ukraine as war continues to rage between the nation and Russia.
And the two actors?
No other than Mila Kunis, who was born in Ukraine, and Ashton Kutcher.
The married couple who met while filming That ’70s Show, began a campaign to raise money for Kunis’ native country, and proceeded to raise nearly $35 million to help Ukrainian refugees, according to TMZ.
Zelensky spoke his high praises:
“I thank them on behalf of our people… on behalf of all us.”
He called them a star couple, while also adding that they believe in Ukraine’s victory and future.
The President took to Twitter to post a photo of him and the couple’s interaction.
He added:
“Grateful for their support. Impressed by their determination. They inspire the world. #StandWithUkraine”
The couple not only raised almost $35 million, but they also donated $3 million out of their own pockets.
Mila wrote:
“Today, I am a proud Ukrainian. While my family came to the United States in 1991, I was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine in 1983.
Ukrainians are proud and brave people who deserve our help in their time of need.”
Respect.
