Actress Katheryn Winnick of the series “Big Sky” is applauding President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s efforts in his country’s fight against Russia. Just a few months ago she celebrated Ukraine’s 30 years of independence along with the president and his wife Olena.
Winnick, who has Ukrainian roots, told Fox News, “he understands our fight, that we are Ukrainian strong, and we will fight to the death to protect what is ours and is our home,” Winnick said.
The actress also shared, “I want the world to see…this is a true hero. This is a true leader who’s bringing the world together and highlighting our Ukraine.”
“He’s staying with his people. He is willing to fight on the ground,” she added.
Winnick was born in Canada to Ukrainian parents. She speaks the language and attended Ukrainian school, per Fox News.
Winnick wants the world to stand with Ukraine in this fight.
“This is not just a fight for Ukraine, but it’s really a fight for all of Europe, for democracy. All [of the] civilized world has to help Ukraine for the sake of humanity” she said.
Prayer is a powerful tool. Philippians 4:6 tells us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God,” and Winnick is praying for Ukraine.
“I pray for Ukraine….I pray for my family and friends. I pray for the soldiers that are out there right now on the ground, the civilians that are on the ground right now. And I pray for their safety and Slava Ukraini [glory to Ukraine],” she said.
Winnick hopes that everyone will come together to end the fighting.
“I just want everybody to unite and stop this war. I know not even the Russian people want this, no one wants this. It’s important that everybody understands that we have the right to be free,” she said.
