Yes, that is right, Mila Kunis is from Ukraine. The actress moved to the states with her family when she was 7 years old. Kunis was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine — then part of the Soviet Union.
While acknowledging all that America has done for her and her family, she said she couldn’t forget her roots.
Kunis and her husband Ashton Kutcher could not turn a blind eye to what is happening. The couple pledged to match up to $3 million in donations to help refugees fleeing her native country amid the conflict with Russia.
The Hollywood couple launched a “Stand With Ukraine” GoFundMe campaign on Thursday with the goal of raising $30 million for Flexport.org and Airbnb.org, which, they said, are “two organizations who are actively on the ground providing immediate help to those who need it most.”
“Today, I am a proud Ukrainian,” the “Black Swan” star said in a statement shared on the fundraising page. “Ukrainians are proud and brave people who deserve our help in their time of need.”
“Our family is starting this fund to help provide immediate support,” she wrote, “and we will be matching up to $3 million dollars.”
On Instagram she said, “The events that have unfolded in Ukraine are devastating. There is no place in this world for this kind of unjust attack on humanity,” Kunis said.
In the clip, Kutcher, 44, applauded the “bravery of the people of the country that (Kunis) was born in” while emphasizing to his 4.4 million Instagram followers “the needs of those who have chosen safety.”
