Born as Milena Markovna Kunis, the Black Swan actress hasn’t forgotten her Ukrainian roots, posting on the fundraiser’s website: “Today, I am a proud Ukrainian. While my family came to the United States in 1991, I was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, in 1983. Ukrainians are proud and brave people who deserve our help in their time of need. This unjust attack on Ukraine and humanity at large is devastating, and the Ukrainian people need our support.”
