Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively Donates $1 Million For Ukrainian Refugees

Meanwhile, following their million-dollar vow to help Ukrainian refugees over the weekend, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively were spotted out on a stroll in New York City. Following Reynolds' kind Twitter announcement the day before, the married couple strolled out arm-in-arm on a frigid February Sunday.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees have fled into neighboring nations seeking safety since Vladimir Putin's forces invaded the independent nation last week. As they went down the Manhattan sidewalk, the Gossip Girl star looped her arm around her husband, according to Daily Mail.

Ryan Reynolds was dressed warmly with a navy hoodie and puffer vest, as well as navy knit gloves and a beanie. He wore khaki pants and sneakers with a warm combination. The pair announced on Saturday that they will match donations to the UN Refugee Agency up to $1 million in support of Ukrainian refugees.

According to the United Nations, more than 500,000 people have left Ukraine as a result of the horrific invasion. This figure is projected to rise. The Washington Post said that the bulk of the refugees are seeking sanctuary in Poland, with thousands more escaping to Hungary, Moldova, Slovakia, and Romania.

According to the UN Refugee Agency, the Russian invasion will leave about three million Ukrainians in need of humanitarian assistance. Blake Lively also announced the news on her Instagram page, where she posted a photo of a woman with a toddler wearing a blue and yellow jacket in the Ukrainian colors.

Ryan and Blake, who married in 2012 and have three children: James, seven, Inez, five, and Betty, two, have repeatedly stepped up to help in times of need throughout the years. In the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the couple contributed another $1 million to Feeding America and Food Banks Canada earlier this month.
