The situation in Ukraine is terrifying: Priyanka Chopra urges fans to help children in 'war zone'

After Russia launched a military attack on Ukraine on Thursday, actress Priyanka Chopra has requested fans to support the children in the 'war zone' and shared a link for the same on her social media.

Mumbai: Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Friday dubbed the Russian military attack on Ukraine as "terrifying" and said it was difficult to understand how the situation has escalated to a "catastrophic point".

Russian troops launched their anticipated attack on Ukraine on Thursday, as President Vladimir Putin cast aside international condemnation and sanctions and warned other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to consequences they had "never seen".

Chopra Jonas, who is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, took to Instagram and shared a news clipping of the Ukraine crisis.

"The situation unfolding in Ukraine is terrifying. Innocent people living in fear for their lives and the lives of their loved ones, while trying to navigate the uncertainty of the immediate future," she wrote.
