Ashton Kutcher is standing in solidarity with Ukraine following Russia's invasion.

The That '70s Show alum, 44, showed support for wife Mila Kunis' native country amid the ongoing crisis. "I stand with Ukraine," Kutcher posted Friday on Twitter, before also retweeting an image of the Ukrainian flag.

The statement from the actor comes after Russia launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine earlier this week following months of warning.

President Vladimir Putin's aggression toward Ukraine has been widely condemned by the international community, including with economic sanctions and NATO troops massing in the region. Putin insists Ukraine has historic ties to Russia and he is acting in the interest of so-called "peacekeeping."

Kunis, 38, was born and raised in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, until the age of 7. During an interview with the The Los Angeles Times in 2008, the actress revealed she and her family fled the country and immigrated to the United States "right at the fall [of the Soviet Union]."

"It was very communist, and my parents wanted my brother and me to have a future, and so they just dropped everything," Kunis explained. "They came with $250."

She said that she "adjusted fairly quickly and fairly well" to life in the States. However, the Bad Moms star confessed that she "blocked out second grade completely" due to the initial struggle to blend in.

"I cried every day," she said. "I didn't understand the people. I didn't understand the language."
