Leonardo DiCaprio, one of the biggest stars of modern Hollywood, has donated $ 10 million to support Ukraine, which is fighting against the Russian occupier. The information was first provided by the International Visegrad Fund.
Leonardo DiCaprio is famous for his commitment, and this time his support also has a personal motive. The actor’s maternal grandmother – Helene Indenbirken – was born in Odessa as Jelena Stepanovna Smirnova. In 1917, she emigrated from there with her parents to Germany, where Leonardo’s mother was born.
Raised mainly by his mother Leonardo, he was also closely related to his grandmother, who was a supporter of his career from the beginning. The woman, who died in 2008 at the age of 93, almost until the end appeared with her grandson and daughter at the premieres of his films, which is reminiscent of the American industry media on the occasion of generous support for Ukraine.
Leonardo DiCaprio allocated as much as USD 10 million to support Ukraine and did not plan to announce it to the whole world. The information was announced yesterday by the International Visegrad Fund – a project of the Visegrad Group aimed at financial support for international initiatives. Following him, the American media repeated it.
