The Ukrainian-American actress also explains what makes this war different than other conflicts for her and the 'beautiful conversation' she and husband Ashton Kutcher had with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“It’s been irrelevant to me that I come from Ukraine. It never mattered,” she said. “So much so that I’ve always said I’m Russian. I’ve always been, ‘I’m from Russia’ for a multitude of reasons. One of them being, when I came to the States, and I would tell people I’m from Ukraine, the first question I’d get was ‘Where is Ukraine?’ And then I’d have to explain Ukraine and where it is on the map.”
“I’m not pleasantly surprised, but I’m awestricken by this group of people. They’re fighting with their own makeshift weapons,” Kunis said. “It is inspiring.” While she’s been moved by Ukraine’s response, Kunis says some of the “rhetoric” around boycotting Russia in response to its invasion misses what — and who — the real problem is.“I don’t think that we need to consider the people of Russia an enemy,” she said. “I think that there’s now [a] if you’re not with us, you’re against us mentality, and I don’t want people to conflate the two problems that are happening.
“The country was still incredibly poor, and him and his best friends were insanely wealthy on the backs of the people that were starving,” Kunis said. That’s part of why she and Kutcher took so much time launching the fundraiser. “I kept saying I think whatever we do, you have to be able to pivot because this is not … a civil war. It’s not a religious-based war. It’s not somewhere that we have pattern recognition on,” she said. “We don’t know what the end goal is, in this case. I don’t believe that the end goal personally is, ‘Oh, we just want Ukraine.
