Oscar-winning famous actor and director Sean Penn went to Ukraine to shoot a documentary about Russia’s invasion of the country and document the invasion. “The director specially came to Kiev to record all the events taking place in Ukraine at the moment and to tell the world the truth about the Russian invasion of our country,” the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a statement. The statement continued: “Sean Penn is among those who support Ukraine in Ukraine today. Our country is grateful to him for such a display of courage and honesty.”
Penn has reportedly visited the presidential office since his arrival in Eastern Europe and met with Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk, local journalists and members of the Ukrainian military.
The actor also visited Ukraine in November to prepare for his documentary. During this visit, he went to the Azov region and met with the Ukrainian army.
Penn has been involved in a number of anti-war and humanitarian efforts over the years. He is also the co-founder of Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE), a nonprofit that “works to support underserved communities around the world through crises and beyond,” according to her Instagram page.
