Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas has dubbed Russian military attack on Ukraine as “terrifying” and said it was difficult to understand how the situation has escalated to a “catastrophic point”.

Chopra Jonas, who is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, took to Instagram and shared a news clipping of the Ukraine crisis.
“The situation unfolding in Ukraine is terrifying. Innocent people living in fear for their lives and the lives of their loved ones, while trying to navigate the uncertainty of the immediate future,” she wrote.
The 39-year-old actor also attached a UNICEF donation link in her bio to help the children of Ukraine.
“It’s difficult to comprehend how in the modern world this could escalate to such a catastrophic point, but this is a consequential moment that will reverberate around the world. There are innocent lives living in this war zone. They are just like you and me. Here is more info at the link in my bio about how to assist the people of Ukraine,” she added.
