Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are halfway to their goal of raising $30 million for the people of Ukraine. The Ukrainian-born Kunis emigrated to the United States in 1991.
In an Instagram video posted to Kutcher’s account on Saturday, the couple provided an update on their fundraising efforts to benefit the country amid the Russian invasion.
“UPDATE!! 15 million. We are halfway to our goal. Thank you for the support!” Kutcher captioned the video on his account, along with the hashtag “Stand with Ukraine.” The funds have since increased to over $16 million.
In the video, which drew support from Reese Witherspoon and others, Kunis spoke about their progress thus far.
“We just wanted to give you a quick update as to where we stand with the fundraising. We’re halfway through,” said Kunis, who was born in the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi in 1983. “We’re super-excited, and we want to say thank you to each and every single one of you. It’s been an incredible past 48 hours.”
