“I have always considered myself an American, a proud American. I love everything this country has done for myself and my family,” the 38-year-old said.
“But today I have never been more proud to be a Ukrainian. The events that have unfolded in Ukraine are devastating. There is no place in this world for this kind of unjust attack on humanity.”
Actor Kutcher said: “While we witness the bravery of the people in the country she was born in, we’re also witness to the needs of those who have chosen safety.”
