"War is hell": Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis reminds the world of the terrible price of Ukrainian independence

Oscar-winning American actress Jamie Lee Curtis publicly supported Ukrainians amid a massive Russian missile attack on the morning of August 26. The Hollywood star once again reminded her nearly 6 million foreign audience that the war in Ukraine is still ongoing and killing many soldiers every day.

She posted on Instagram photos of military photographer and journalist Andriy Dubchak and translated his story into English for her followers. The photos show a bloody soldier who defended Ukraine near Pokrovsk, but was wounded and ended up in the stabilization center of the Ulf premedical service of the Da Vinci Wolves separate battalion.

"War is hell! Independence is always a battle!" commented Jamie Lee Curtis.

The man could not survive, although doctors fought for his life incessantly. He died due to severe injuries shortly before Ukraine's Independence Day.

"He was brought to the stabilization center of the Ulf premedical service of the Da Vinci Wolves separate battalion in a serious condition. Mine-blast wound: multiple injuries to the leg and penetrating shrapnel to the right side of the head. The doctors did their best. He was injected with adrenaline and resuscitated. The doctors were pumping his heart with indirect heart massage, taking turns, for about forty minutes. In the corridor under the operating room, those not involved in resuscitation stood silently waiting. We were waiting for him to survive. He died on the Flag Day. He died on the eve of Independence Day. He died late at night, on August 23, 2024," said photographer Andriy Dubchak.

He added that there are a lot of wounded and killed at the front and the work of military medics does not stop for a moment.

"There were more wounded afterwards. Three young guys with minor contusions. They joked a lot and were eager to 'give back'. And in the morning, three more with light leg injuries from a drone drop. The dawn of the 33rd day of Ukraine's Independence began for the headquarters with the loud work of Ukrainian artillery on the positions of Russian troops advancing on Pokrovsk," Dubchak wrote.

Jamie Lee Curtis, 65, has been supporting Ukrainians since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion. She frequently posts heartbreaking messages on Instagram to remind her supporters that the bloody war is still going on, even though foreign media have become much less likely to report on it.

Earlier, OBOZ.UA reported that Jamie Lee Curtis supported Ukrainians after Russia's massive missile strike on July 8, which damaged the Okhmatdyt children's hospital. In addition to her, Stephen King, Jessica Chastain, Frank Wilde, and other celebrities also wrote about the cruelty of the Russians.
