In a Sunday video on YouTube, Kunis shared the good news. At the time of the video, they had raised “over $15 million from more than 36,000 donors.”
“The people of Ukraine are strong and brave, but being strong and brave doesn’t mean you’re not worthy of support,” Kunis said in the pair’s announcement video. “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.”
Kutcher, 44, praised the bravery of the Ukrainian fighters and explained the importance of the fundraiser.
