More than 1 million people have already fled Ukraine in a rapid exodus more than a week after Russia invaded and bombarded key cities across the country.
Actors Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have pledged up to $3 million in aid to displaced Ukrainians.
More than 1 million people have already fled Ukraine in a rapid exodus more than a week after Russia attacked and bombed major cities across the country.
The couple made their announcement on Thursday in a video posted to Kutcher's Instagram account.
"I was born in 1983 in Chernivtsi, Ukraine," Kunis says in the video. "I came to America in 1991. I've always considered myself an American, a proud American. I love all that this country has done for myself and my family. But I've never been so proud to be Ukrainian today "
"And I've never been proud to be married to a Ukrainian," Kutcher said.
Kunis continued: "The events unfolding in Ukraine are devastating. There is no place in this world for such an unjust attack on humanity."
The people of Ukraine are strong and brave, but being strong and brave does not mean that you are not worthy of support.
Kutcher said he and Kunis are raising funds for a "relief effort that will have an immediate effect and supply much-needed refugee and humanitarian aid to the region."
“The major challenge right now is logistics. We need to get housing and we need to get supplies and resources to the area,” he said.
Flexport is organizing shipments of essential supplies to refugee sites in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Moldova, while Airbnb is providing free, short-term housing to Ukrainian refugees, the couple wrote in their post.
Kunis and Kutcher join celebrity couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, who earlier this week pledged to match up to $1 million in aid to displaced Ukrainians.
"The people of Ukraine are strong and brave, but being strong and brave doesn't mean you're not worthy of support," Kunis said. "We need to support the people of Ukraine."
