Actress Katheryn Winnick may have been born in Canada, but her heart and homeland is with Ukraine.
The “Big Sky” star was born to Ukrainian parents, speaking Ukrainian at home and attending Ukrainian school every Saturday for 16 years.
“I’m very proud to be Ukrainian,” she told Fox News Digital. “We have very different traditions and culture and the Ukrainian spirit is indomitable, it has such strong perseverance.”
As Russian troops are invading Ukraine, the actress praised Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a “true leader.”
“I pray for Ukraine….I pray for my family and friends. I pray for the soldiers that are out there right now on the ground, the civilians that are on the ground right now. And I pray for their safety and Slava Ukraini [glory to Ukraine].”
