Actor Ben Stiller met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday (June 20) in Kyiv, after witnessing some of the destruction of the country firsthand.

"You're my hero," said Stiller, who was in Ukraine on World Refugee Day.

"What you’ve done and the way that you’ve rallied the country and for the world, it’s really inspiring.”

Stiller spoke with Zelensky during a visit that included a stop in Irpin, the scene of heavy fighting early in the Russian invasion.

when actors and comedians are requested to do politics something wrong is going on... In fact, politicians have become comedians!

This war has slowly descended into farcical proportions, Europe on the verge and Zelensky is sipping tea with celebrities.

Stiller: "You quit a great acting career for this!?" Zelensky: "Not so great as yours." Stiller: "No... but pretty great." 😂Jesus H, these scripts write themselves 😂

Nice moment. I am sure Zelensky as a comedian must have looked up to Stiller but now Stiller looked up to Zelensky as a true leader. Lovely moment I would say

Amazing!!
Even with Ukraine being a declared war zone there seems to be no end to the stream of movie actors and politicians knocking on Zelensky's door to enhance their notoriety and fame. Thousands dying on both sides and these people find time to have their little tea parties and pat each other on the back. How sickening!

The first was Sean Penn, he was filming a documentary in Ukraine before and after Russia invaded Ukraine, and after his return in USA he spoke about this war, and he supported Ukraine. Arnold Schwarzenegger made powerful speaches about this war and about Russia, and for support of Ukraine. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has 3 movie stars: 1) Special Envoy: Angelina Jolie, she made a visit to Lviv, to meet with refugee; 2) Goodwill Ambassador: Ben Stiller, he visited Lviv, the destroyed Irpin, and Kyiv (where he met Volodimir Zelenski), and also Poland, to meet with refugees; 3) Goodwill Ambassador: Cate Blanchett, in the documentary "Ukraine: Life Under Attack" (by Basement Films), narrates the gripping story of the battle for Kharkiv, told through the eyes of civilians and emergency workers who bore the brunt of the Russian onslaught. Richard Gere spoke in support of Ukraine. Bono and The Edge, from U2, played a concert in a metro station in the capital Kyiv, during this war.

Two Jewish actor comedians enjoy a cordial greeting while Christians are slaughtered at the front. Nice

Zelensky is such a phenomenal leader.... Much respect...
Very pleased to see Stiller stepping up as an ambassador for UNHCR to help Ukraine.
The Enforcer channel on YouTube raised $13, 000 in donations for the UNHCR to support Ukraine.
Slava Ukraine from Canada

I say to Zelensky we haven't forgotten you for a moment... It never leaves our minds. And it hasn't left mine since 2013 .. and then the annexation.
We are here for you
