As part of his mission as ambassador of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Ben Stiller was able to meet with President Zelensky.
The opportunity for the star to express all his admiration for the political leader who, as everyone knows, had originally married the career of an actor.
“You are my hero.
You gave up a great acting career for that,” Ben Stiller told Volodymyr Zelensky who replied, “Not as great as yours.”
Among the ruins
“It's one thing to see this destruction on TV or on social media.
It's quite another to see it all with your own eyes.
It is much more shocking”, then declared Ben Stiller who, during his journey, notably crossed the ruins of Irpin and visited the Ukrainian refugees at the Polish border.
“What you saw at Irpin is definitely appalling.
But it is even worse to simply imagine what is happening in the settlements which are still under temporary occupation in the east,” Volodymyr Zelensky finally added, taking advantage of this meeting to recall Russia's occupation of the Donbass region. .
