"Today, I am a proud Ukrainian. While my family came to the United States in 1991, I was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine in 1983. Ukrainians are proud and brave people who deserve our help in their time of need. This unjust attack on Ukraine and humanity at large is devastating and the Ukrainian people need our support.

"Today I am a proud Ukrainian"

I thought nearly a decade ago Mila said she doesn't identify with Ukraine? Of course her feelings may have changed over the last 8 or 9 years.

Anyway, it's nice to see them helping.

Maybe she meant culturally. I'm an immigrant myself and my family came to another country when I was young.

Most of the time, I feel detached from my birth country.

Maybe because she left when it was about to be independent Ukraine and it was still Soviet Ukraine, so she never really had the identity of an independent Ukraine with it's own national identity.

She grew up American and that's the most solid identity she probably identifies with, but I'm sure the older she got/getting the more she's learning about the Ukraine her family left and connecting to the Ukraine that is now.

It's borderline identity, like most immigrants in America, we struggle with balancing the multiple identities, we often have to present to the different aspects of our daily lives.

They should pass this around the trucker convoy. They somehow raised millions in a couple of days.
