Mila Kunis, who is Ukrainian born, said in the video: “I have always considered myself an American, a proud American… But today, I have never been more proud to be a Ukrainian.”

Kutcher added: “And I’ve never been more proud to be married to a Ukrainian.”

In a new video posted to Ashton Kutcher’s Twitter page yesterday (March 17) the couple revealed they had reached their goal.

"We just want to say that we hit our goal," said Kunis. "Over 65,000 of you donated. We're overwhelmed with gratitude for the support. And while this will far from solve the problem, our collective effort will provide a softer landing for so many people as they forge ahead into their future of uncertainty.

Kutcher continued in the video: “Our work is not done.

“We're gonna do everything we can to ensure that the outpouring of love that came from you all as a part of this campaign finds the maximum impact with those in need.

 “As funding continues to come in, we're going to treat every dollar as if it's being donated out of our pocket, with respect and honour for the work that went into earning it, with the intent of love through which it was given and the desire for it to be maximised for positive outcome for others."
