Ukraine Marks Three Years Under Attack: “Today, A Ukrainian Producer Is Nothing Short Of A Superhero”

Zelenskyy — a former television comedy actor — used his office to establish United24, a fundraising organization aimed at working with international celebrities such as Stephen Fry, Liev Schreiber, Katheryn Winnick, Mark Hamill, Hilary Swank and Alyssa Milano to drum up support for Ukraine’s war efforts.
