Ashton Kutcher has slammed the Russian government over its fake coverage of the country’s war with Ukraine.
Ashton Kutcher Slams The Russian Government’s Coverage Of The War With Ukraine
The Russian regime, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin, has come under heavy criticism ever since it made the decision to attack Ukraine via Belarus.
While the majority of people firmly point the blame at the Russian leadership, it looks as though the country is not going to take that lightly.
So much so that Ashton questioned their media coverage, going so far as to state that they are not being truthful to the world.
In a post to his followers on Twitter, he said: “Post for socials: If you know someone from Russia Call them and tell them their media is lying to them.
“Ukraine doesn’t want to fight, they just don’t want Putin’s government and don’t want to be occupied.” Ever since the conflict started, Ashton has been very vocal about it.
After all, his wife, Mila Kunis, was born in Ukraine, which is why this issue is particularly close to him. But rather than simply condemning what has been going on, Ashton has also taken some steps to offer any help that he can.
He recently shared a social media post that described how the company ‘Airbnb’ were willing to host refugees from Ukraine for free.
Although that is not going to take away from what has happened, it does nevertheless offer some much-needed help during these difficult times.
In a statement in that regard, Ashton re-shared the following post: “Airbnb and Airbnb.org are working with our Hosts to house up to 100,000 refugees fleeing from Ukraine, for free.”
The response on social media was very mixed which was understandable. People were of the view that there was misinformation potentially going on by both sides in the conflict.
One person wrote: “But you believe our media? Hypocritical don’t you think?” Given the mistrust that has been around with mainstream media, it is not surprising that people still have reservations about what has been broadcast surrounding this conflict.
And that is not going to change anytime soon. So does Ashton have a point, or were his comments off the mark? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
