Actress Mila Kunis, 39, raised more than $37 million (about R$196 million) in a campaign to support refugees from Ukraine. She and her husband, actor Ashton Kutcher, have been providing short-term supplies and housing for millions of people affected by the Russian invasion of the country earlier this year.
Mila told People that helping refugees should be the norm and you can’t be insensitive to what’s happening in her home country – she was born in the then-Soviet city of Chernivtsi but moved to Los Angeles with her family when she was seven. .
“In a situation like that, we didn’t have time to think too much about things. Since I’m from Ukraine, I started getting calls from people who wanted to help and thought I knew politics or knew about local NGOs,” he said.
She said she has been teaching her children about her country and the war, but taking care to protect them from giving too much detail about the problems of the conflict, such as children going hungry or innocent people dying.
“My children will always grow up eating my mother’s cooking. My parents and I speak Russian to each other, so they grew up with it. They naturally found pride in being half-Ukrainian.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised Mila and Ashton for “inspiring the world” with their fundraising and said he was “impressed by their determination”.
