The statement from the actor comes after Russialaunched a full-scale attackon Ukraine earlier this week following months of warning.
Kunis, 38, was born and raised in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, until the age of 7. During an interview with theThe Los Angeles Timesin 2008, the actress revealed she and her family fled the country and immigrated to the United States “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 explained. “They came with $250.”
She said that she “adjusted fairly quickly and fairly well” to life in the States. However, theBad Momsstar confessed that she “blocked out second grade completely” due to the initial struggle to blend in.
“I cried every day,” she said. “I didn’t understand the people. I didn’t understand the language.”
