Describing his courage and dignity, Penn said, " I don’t know if he knew he was born for this. It was clear I was in the presence of and this is reflective of so many Ukrainians something that was new to the modern world in terms of courage, dignity, love and the way he has unified the country. I was endlessly impressed and moved by him and terrified for him and Ukraine", via CNN.
Penn had arrived in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, last week to work on the documentary about the ongoing Russian invasion. However, as the situation intensified, the actor left Ukraine via Poland.
