Sean Penn called on the United States and Poland to supply Ukraine with much-needed jets after ending a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak Wednesday. Penn blamed a 'bottleneck' situation.
"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 in the statement, which he later shared to Twitter.
The"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" actor went on to praise the people of Ukraine and their leader for their bravery. Penn revealed the needed jets had not arrived in Ukraine after getting off a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak. "President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people have risen as historic symbols of courage and principle," he wrote."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."On Wednesday, a Russian airstrike devastated a maternity hospital in the besieged port city of Mariupol amid growing warnings from the West that Moscow’s invasion is about to take a more brutal and indiscriminate turn.
