American Actor Sean Penn is urging the US to join the Ukraine in its war against Russia, saying that if we don’t join the fight, “our soul as America is lost.”
Penn, a left-wing actor, director and producer is currently in the Ukraine filming a documentary about the Russian invasion.
He reportedly arrived in Kiev earlier this week and was photographed at a press briefing by the Ukrainian government on Thursday as Russia launched a full-scale attack on its neighbour.

Breitbart report: On Saturday, the actor issued a statement in which he blasted Russia’s Vladimir Putin and likened the crisis to a fight for democracy — even though the Ukraine’s commitment to freedom and democratic values remains unclear at best.
“Already a brutal mistake of lives taken and hearts broken, and if he doesn’t relent, I believe Mr Putin will have made a most horrible mistake for all of humankind,” Penn said.
“President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people have risen as historic symbols of courage and principle. Ukraine is the tip of the spear for the democratic embrace of dreams. If we allow it to fight alone, our soul as America is lost.”
The vast majority of Americans are against major U.S. involvement in the Ukraine-Russia crisis. Only 26 percent say they want the U.S. to play a major role in the dispute, according to a recent AP-NORC poll.
Nevertheless, the Biden administration and prominent Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), are selling the conflict as an attack on democracy.
