Ben Stiller is sharing his experience after meeting with Ukrainian refugees who have fled to Poland amid Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Stiller first arrived in Poland, where he met with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, with the plan to not only learn about what's been going on in Ukraine, but also share the stories of those who have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety and shelter.
"I’ve just arrived in Poland with UNHCR, to meet families whose lives have been torn apart by war and violence in Ukraine. Millions have been forced to flee their homes with over 90% being women and children. I’m here to learn, to share stories that illustrate the human impact of war and to amplify calls for solidarity," Stiller captioned a photo following his arrival in Poland Saturday.
He continued, urging others to share their own messages of support for the people of Ukraine,"I hope you’ll follow along and share your own messages of support, for people who have fled their homes in Ukraine and for people who have been forced to flee all over the world. Everyone has the right to seek safety. Whoever, wherever, whenever.
"Near the Medyka border in Poland I had a chance to meet some families who fled the war in Ukraine, leaving loved ones behind with no idea when they will be able to return home- or have homes to return to," Stiller wrote Sunday."I’m also always so impressed by @refugees and how committed they are to supporting people on their journeys."As a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, Stiller's trip comes ahead of World Refugee Day on June 20.
