We've all seen the horror unfold in Ukraine, so we know how desperately they need help, and this is the time for all of us - but most especially our leaders - to #StandUpForUkraine. Support the refugees! http://ForUkraine.com @GlblCtzn

Here are three organizations doing incredible work for Ukrainian children and families - #ChildrenAction @projecthopeorg @UNICEFUSA

We’re all praying tonight for the peace and the safety of the people in the Ukraine. Thank you guys so much for being part of this important fundraiser.

There’s simply no justification or provocation for Russia’s choice of war. It’s an example of one of the oldest human impulses using brute force and disinformation to satisfy a craving for absolute power and control.

Ukraine now. Ukraine forever.

There is so much heartbreak and loss in the world today I send all the love I have left in me to all who are suffering in the Ukraine

I am disgusted by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, it is a criminal mistake in my opinion, the act of a gangster, there must be an immediate ceasefire. I regret that Western governments are fueling the fire that will destroy your beautiful country by pouring arms into Ukraine, instead of engaging in the diplomacy that will be necessary to stop the slaughter. Rest assured if all our leaders don’t turn down the rhetoric and engage in diplomatic negotiations there will be precious little of Ukraine left when the fighting is over. A long drawn out insurgency in Ukraine would be great for the gangster hawks in Washington, it’s what they dream of, “playing the game” as they do, ”with the bravery of being out of range” I desperately hope your President is not a gangster too and that he will do what is best for his people, and demand of the Americans that they come to the table. Sadly, however, many world leaders are gangsters and my disgust for political gangsters did not start last week with Putin. I was disgusted by the gangsters Bush and Blair when they invaded Iraq in 2003, I was and still am disgusted by the gangster government of Israel’s invasion of Palestine in 1967 and its subsequent apartheid occupation of that land which has now been going on for over fifty years. I was disgusted by the gangsters Obama and Clinton ordering NATO’s illegal bombings of both Libya and Serbia. I am disgusted by the wholesale destruction of Syria initiated, as it was, in 2011 by outside interference in the cause of regime change. I was disgusted by the invasion of Lebanon in 1982 when the gangster Shimon Peres connived with the Christian Phalangist Militias in the murder of Palestinian refugees in Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in the south of that country.

I was endlessly impressed and moved by him and terrified for him and Ukraine. [...] I do know that we have to invest everything we have to support the Ukrainian people and to support President Zelensky or I do not think we will have a legitimate memory of what America hopes to be.

The people of Ukraine are fighting for the survival of their country, the survival of Democracy, and their very lives. The least we can do is not buy oil from this madman.

This is a beautiful night where we all get to celebrate art together and celebrate each other. There is so much going on in the world, My heart really goes out to Ukraine and I think tonight we should all really sit in the gratitude of this.

Saw footage of bombs dropping & in the background u could hear children screaming. When I tell u it broke my heart into pieces? …To every mother fleeing w|your children, saying goodbye 2 your husband…I can’t imagine how afraid & alone you must feel. God, pls help them

I pray for the people of Ukraine. I pray for the children, who should never have to know the pain and fear they are experiencing today. To think of the thousands of children living through every moment scared and many without their loved ones, just breaks my heart into a million pieces. I cannot imagine having to flee my home, separate from my family, leave behind everything and everyone I know and love. […] God give strength to the Ukrainian people.

Last night, Russia launched a brazen attack on the people of Ukraine, in violation of international law and basic principles of human decency. Russia did so not because Ukraine posed a threat to Russia, but because the people of Ukraine chose a path of sovereignty, self determination, and democracy. For exercising rights that should be available to all people and nations, Ukrainians now face a brutal onslaught that is killing innocents and displacing untold numbers of men, women, and children.

Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine. We condemn this invasion of a sovereign country by Russia and we stand on the side of democracy wherever it is under attack — in Texas, across America, and throughout the world.

To my friends and family in Ukraine - my heart breaks that this conflict has escalated in such a devastating way. Please take great care and be as safe as you can. Sending thoughts to you and your loved ones during this chaotic and disruptive time.

Of course we should be rooting for Ukraine. Ukraine is a democracy looking to ally itself with the West. Putin is a thug dictator seeking to rebuild an empire on the back of pure aggression while simultaneously allying with China and Iran.

This morning was heartbreaking waking up to the news that Ukraine had been invaded. I had the most incredible experience filming ‘Nothing Breaks Like A Heart’ in Kyiv and will be forever grateful to the local community who welcomed me with open arms. There are local reports that at least 40 Ukrainians have been killed already, and this conflict can lead to many more deaths, another refugee crisis with so many forced to flee their homes and more. I am standing in solidarity with everyone in Ukraine who is affected by this attack and with our global community who is calling for an immediate end to this violence.

We are praying for the brave and resilient Ukrainian people. The attacks being carried out by Vladimir Putin are reprehensible. We stand with our friends and ally.

My thoughts are with the Ukrainian people. I have been asked to do several interviews, but I believe the news should continue to focus on what’s happening on the ground - on the tragedy that has broken our hearts and on the courage of the Ukrainian people that has inspired us. […] In the meantime, I stand with the people of Ukraine. I share your grief and your hope for peace. You inspire me with your bravery and your humanity in the face of this nightmare. God bless you.
