Ashton Kutcher is speaking out in support of Ukraine following Russia’s invasion.
His wife, Hollywood actress Mila Kunis is a native Ukrainian who was born and raised in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, which was part of the Soviet Union until 1991.
On Thursday Russia launched a “full-scape invasion” on Ukraine under Vladimir Putin’s order.
Ukraine’s interior ministry has said they are already “hundreds of casualties” in what many are flagging could be the most disastrous European war since 1945.
44-year-old Ashton took to Twitter to stand in solidarity with Ukraine and shared a heartfelt post on the social media platform.
Ashton tweeted, “I stand with Ukraine.”

Mila, 38, who is not on social media, comes from a Jewish family and moved to Los Angeles from Ukraine when she was 7-years-old.
The Friends With Benefits actress has previously spoken about what life was like growing up in the now-defunct Soviet Union.
She told the Daily Telegraph in 2011: “My parents both had amazing jobs, and I was very lucky.”
“We were not poor when we lived in Russia, whereas most people were very unfortunate.”

The actress and mother-of-two also spoke of her sheltered life under the Soviet Union regime.
She told W magazine in 2011: “All I had known were Caucasian people with blond hair, brunette hair and sometimes red hair,”
She added: “You’re never really taught about anything else. He explained to me that there are people in this world who are a different colour.
“Being seven and a half, I asked him, ‘Does that mean there are purple people in this world?'”
