Her tweet came soon after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed there were multiple victims of the Russian airstrike, and condemned leaders of other countries for failing to enact a no-fly zone. āPeople, children are under the wreckage. Atrocity!ā he tweeted, referring to the maternity hospital in the besieged city of Mariupol. āHow much longer will the world be an accomplice ignoring terror? Close the sky right now! Stop the killings! You have power but you seem to be losing humanity.ā
This isnāt the first time Caitriona has been vocal about her opposition to Russianās invasion of Ukraine on social media. On March 2, she tweeted, āWe must not look away at this horrific war Russia is waging on Ukraine. Putin is a madman ā¦ our leaders need to do more to stop him. This is just so awful. The loss of life, the destruction of a country. How can this be happening. Itās just so awful. #NoWarWithUkraine #Ukriane.ā

The starsā comments come after a slew of celebrities have also been candid about their feelings on the crisis. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis announced that they would match up to $3 million in donations to relief funds for Milaās home country of Ukraine. āWhile we are witnessing the bravery of Ukrainians, we are also bearing witness to the unimaginable burden of those who have chosen safety,ā Ashton and Mila said in an Instagram video post. āThrough GoFundMe, this fundraiser will provide an immediate impact on refugee and humanitarian aid efforts.ā
Russian supermodel Irina Shayk threw her support behind Ukraine in the ongoing invasion of the country by her homeland. Fellow Eastern European model Milla Jovovich got emotional in her social media post reacting to the news, as she has ties to both countries. Hayden Panettiere, who shares a child with Ukranian boxer Wladimir Klitschko, posted, āI ask for those of us who canāt be there to stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and show your support for #democracy.ā And Dancing With the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who is currently in Ukraine, said he is āsafeā but learning from fellow countrymen that āthe situation is pretty dire.ā
