Hollywood actor and director Sean Penn, sanctioned by Russia for criticizing its war in Ukraine, loaned his Oscar statuette to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a visit to Kyiv on Tuesday.

“It’s just a symbolic, silly thing,” he said, seated beside the Ukrainian leader at a ceremonial table and pressing his hand on his arm to emphasize his words as aides smiled and laughed. “When you win, bring it back to Malibu.”

A video showed the two men on their way to view a plaque bearing Penn’s signature, dated February 24, the date of the Russian invasion, and set in the paving stones of an “Alley of Courage” Zelenskyy inaugurated in August to honour friends of Ukraine.

Well done SeanPenn for showing his support to a country being invaded & for sharing his symbol of success & overcoming. Most with sense (as well as the HRW) can see the truth of what's happening. Bucha P.S I don't care what former job Reagan, Schwarzenegger or Zelensky had.💛💙

Loaned?

Clowns🤡🤡

What's he going to do with it though?

Comedians re United

Because ZelenskyyUa is a very good actor.
