Taking to Instagram, the celebrity couple posted a video informing their followers of the fundraiser, asking them to donate to the war-torn country.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis posted a joint video, informing fans that they have started a fundraiser to help Ukrainian refugees. Mila, who was born in Ukraine, said, “I have always considered myself an American, a proud American. I love everything that this country has done for myself and my family, but today I have never been more proud to be a Ukrainian." Ashton said, “We're raising funds to support a relief effort that will have immediate impact and supply much-needed refugee and humanitarian aid to the area.”
Posting the video, Ashton Kutcher wrote, “While we are witnessing the bravery of Ukrainians, we are also bearing witness to the unimaginable burden of those who have chosen safety. Through GoFundMe, this fundraiser will provide an immediate impact on refugee and humanitarian aid efforts. The fund will benefit Flexport.org and Airbnb.org , two organizations who are actively on the ground providing immediate help to those who need it most. Flexport.org is organizing shipments of relief supplies to refugee sites in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Moldova. Airbnb.org is providing free, short-term housing to refugees fleeing Ukraine. Standing with Ukraine means supporting Ukrainians. #StandWithUkraine (sic).”
