Actor Leonardo DiCaprio, 47, paid tribute to the victims of the Ukraine war on social media.
DiCaprio posted a photo of various humanitarian groups on his Instagram account Wednesday helping those affected by the military invasion of Russia, which began on Monday.
"The victims of the Ukrainian war have lost everything from their loved ones to the basic ingredients for survival," he said, voiced his opposition to the war.
This post is even more eye-catching as he posted it himself for the first time after reports that he donated 10 million Family Dollar (about KRW 12.1 billion) to Ukraine turned out to be fake news.
Recently, DiCaprio made a large donation of 10 million Family Dollar to Ukraine and reports were made worldwide that DiCaprio's late maternal grandmother was born in the Ukraine city of Odessa, but this was revealed by CNN.
DiCaprio's aide said the report was fake news, saying, "He has no family anywhere in Odessa or Ukraine."
DiCaprio supported Ukraine and said he made humanitarian donations to CARE, the International Relief Committee, Save the Children and the United Nations refugee organization.
The epicenter of fake news is GSA News, which mainly deals with the news of Guyana, a small country in South America. GSA News reported on a Facebook post that reported the news of the Ukraine war.
Since then, the media, Visegrad 24, which reports on the Visegrad group (Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic), has received this content and reported the donation of DiCaprio, and fake news has spread rapidly worldwide.
DiCaprio is famous for his efforts to protect the environment. In 1998, he founded the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. The foundation supports more than 35 conservation projects around the world to protect vulnerable ecosystems and species.
DiCaprio met with then-Prime Minister Vladimir Putin Russia on November 23, 2010 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The two men were seen talking at the International Tiger Conservation Forum in response to concerns about the tiger's possible extinction.
