Actor Ashton Kutcher warned Russians Monday their media were lying and called on them to disregard information coming from state-run news organizations amid the war in Ukraine.
Kutcher, married to Ukrainian actress Mila Kunis, told his Twitter followers they should call anyone they know from Russia and reassure them Ukraine does not want war. Kunis came to the United States as a child with her family.
Post for socials: If you know someone from Russia Call them and tell them their media is lying to them. Ukraine doesn’t want to fight, they just don’t want Putin’s government and don’t want to be occupied.

“If you know someone from Russia Call them and tell them their media is lying to them,” Kutcher shared with his 17.1 million Twitter followers. “Ukraine doesn’t want to fight, they just don’t want Putin’s government and don’t want to be occupied.”
Kutcher expressed his support for Ukraine almost immediately after the war broke out.
“I stand with Ukraine,” he posted to Twitter on Feb. 24.

“I blocked it out,” Kunis added. “I don’t have any memories. Apparently, my parents tell me I cried every morning and when I came back from school. When I wrote my essay for college, it was about imagining what it was like being blind and deaf at the age of 7, because that’s what it felt like.”
