'Proud' Ukrainian Mila Kunis launches $3M fundraiser with husband Ashton Kutcher

Actress Mila Kunis and her husband Ashton Kutcher pledged on Friday to match $3 million in donations to her home country Ukraine.

Kutcher posted a video to his Twitter account on Thursday where Kunis said she was “proud” of her Ukrainian heritage and promised to help those who have fled the country during Russia’s invasion.

"I was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine in 1983. I came to America in 1991. I have always considered myself 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," Kunis said.

"And I've never been more proud to be married to a Ukrainian," Kutcher added.

"The events that have unfolded in Ukraine are devastating. There is no place in this world for this kind of unjust attack on humanity," Kunis added.

The couple pledged to match $3 million in donations towards a relief effort on GoFundMe, with a goal of $30 million, to help transport and house Ukrainian refugees.

"While we witness the bravery of the people of the country that she was born in we're also witness to the needs of those who have chosen safety. We're raising funds to support a relief effort that will have immediate impact and supply much-needed refugee and humanitarian aid in the area. The principal challenge right now is logistics. We need to get housing, and we need to get supplies and resources into the area," Kutcher said.

The money will be distributed to Flexport.org, which is transporting aid to NGOs on the ground, and Airbnb.org, which is supporting costs for housing to those who take in refugees, reported Fox News.

Over 660,000 people have fled Ukraine in the wake of Russia President Vladimir Putin’s “special military operation” into the country, the United Nations refugee agency announced earlier this week.

The actress immigrated to Los Angeles, CA, in 1991 with her parents and brother.

“It was right at the fall [of the Soviet Union.] It was very communist, and my parents wanted my brother and me to have a future, and so they just dropped everything,” Kunis told the Los Angeles Times in a 2008 interview. “They came with $250.”

Kunis’s first major role was as Jackie Burkhart on the sitcom That 70’s Show, which she got by fibbing about her age (14). She married her co-star Kutcher in 2015, with whom she has had two children.
