Actress Priyanka Chopra described Russia's military attack on Ukraine as terrifying and said it was difficult to understand how the situation had escalated to a catastrophic point.
Meanwhile, speaking about launching a military operation in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin stated that "responsibility for the bloodshed lies with the Ukrainian regime."
So far in the Russian invasion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reportedly stated that 137 people have been killed, including 10 military officers, and 316 have been injured.
Priyanka Chopra, the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, shared a news clipping about the Ukraine crisis on her Instagram. “The situation unfolding in Ukraine is terrifying. Innocent people living in fear for their lives and the lives of their loved ones, while trying to navigate the uncertainty of the immediate future. It’s difficult to comprehend how in the modern world this could escalate to such a catastrophic point, but this is a consequential moment that will reverberate around the world. There are innocent lives living in this war zone. They are just like you and me. Here is more info at the link in my bio about how to assist the people of Ukraine.”
The 39-year-old actress also included a UNICEF donation link in her bio to help Ukraine's children.
