Hollywood Couple Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher Raise Almost $35 Million for Ukrainians

With the Russian invasion, Ukrainian refugees have been in the news.  In two weeks, actors Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher raised nearly $35 million to help Ukrainian refugees displaced by the invasion. The crowdfunding effort has now raised nearly $35 million — and counting.

The married couple had previously pledged to match up to $3 million in donations toward the GoFundMe campaign (available at this link). According to the site, they donated $3 million to their own “Stand With Ukraine” fundraiser 13 days ago.

On Thursday, Kunis — who was born in Ukraine — and Kutcher posted an update on their social accounts, expressing gratitude for the support. As of this writing, more than 68,000 people and companies have donated $34.5 million.

The donations to “Stand With Ukraine” include $5 million from Larry Ellison, the co-founder and executive chairman of software giant Oracle, as well as $3.5 million from DST Global, an investment firm headed by Russian-born Israeli entrepreneur Yuri Milner.
