Hayden Panettiere is also involved in defending Ukraine, a country dear to her heart.

actress

, born in the United States where she still lives, was engaged to Wladimir Klitschko.

Together, they have a seven-year-old daughter, Kaya, whose father had custody when they separated after nine years of relationship in 2018. The former professional boxer is also the brother of Vitali Klitschko, current mayor of Kiev.

The two ex-athletes are fighting on the ground against the Russian army.

The actress decided to do what was in her power: launch a solidarity fund, called Hoplon International, in reference to the "shields of Ancient Greece" worn by the infantrymen, to help those who defend Ukraine.

“It makes my stomach turn to know that people in Ukraine, people I consider my friends and family, are desperately trying to defend their way of life in a country they love,” says Hayden Panettiere to CNN to justify her engagement.

With Hoplon International, the Nashville

hopes to raise funds to provide medical supplies and protective equipment "to those on the front lines, mostly civilian forces, outnumbered and underarmed" .

Among them, the father of his daughter, gone to the front, as well as his ex-brother-in-law, the mayor of Kiev.

Little Kalya lived until recently in Ukraine with her father.

Since the invasion of the armed forces of Vladimir Putin, the child has left the country.

Her parents, presumably for security reasons, did not specify where she was, but Hayden Panettiere assured that she was in a safe place.
