Sean Penn Pledges to Assist Ukrainian Refugees Amid Russian War: 'I’m Going to Do Everything I Can Do'
Sean Penn is showing his support for Ukraine.
The Oscar-winning actor met with Mayor of Krakow, Jacek Majchrowski to sign a humanitarian contract at the City Hall on Wednesday (March 23) in Krakow, Poland.
Sean ‘s CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) foundation, which he began in 2010 to aid victims of the Haiti Earthquake, will be assisting Ukrainian refugees in Poland.
“This is one of the most heartbreaking moments in most of our lifetimes for the world at large and it is a crisis at large,” he said at the press conference, per Metro. “This one is going to go on for some time and I think my answer to the question is going to be the same answer that anybody with Core Response and all people of goodwill would have.”
“Which is I’m going to do everything I can do. Whether is me being here, or coming back many times, or just coming back to shake the hands of the people who are doing the work,” he continued.
Last month it was announced Sean was filming a documentary about the Russian invasion of Ukraine for Vice. He later called the war a “brutal mistake” on social media, praising the efforts of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people.
