In return, the Ukrainian president awarded him the III Order of Merit for “his sincere support and significant contribution to the popularization of Ukraine in the world”
Sean Penn visited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev on Tuesday. The popular actor and director has given him one of two Oscars for Best Actor. “It’s yours,” he said, sitting next to the Ukrainian leader at a ceremonial table, pressing his hand on his arm to emphasize his words as those in attendance smiled and laughed.
“If you win, bring him back to Malibu,” he told Zelensky. In return, the President of Ukraine awarded him the III Order of Merit for “his sincere support and significant contribution to the popularization of Ukraine in the world”.
It is the third time Penn, sanctioned by Russia for criticizing the invasion, has visited Ukraine since the start of the war, since shooting a documentary about the conflict. “Sean brought his Oscar figure as a symbol of faith in our country’s victory. He will remain in Ukraine until the war is over,” Zelensky said on his social networks.
