Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively step up to aid Ukrainian refugees and pledge to match every donation up to $1 million

Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have shown solidarity and promise to match every donation up to $1 million for Ukrainian refugees forced to flee their homes amid the Russian invasion. The couple also encouraged fans to make donations to help out Ukrainians who have been displaced by the ongoing invasion.

On 26 February, the couple took to social media to pledge that they will be matching donations made to “USA for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees” and urged fans to contribute amid the crisis and support displaced Ukrainians. “In 48 hours, countless Ukrainians were forced to flee their homes to neighboring countries. They need protection. When you donate, we’ll match it up to $1,000,000, creating double the support,” Ryan Reynolds wrote in a retweet of the USA for UNHCR account.
