Ben Stiller reflects on Ukraine visit, meeting Zelensky (Los Angeles Times)

Ben Stiller is still processing the devastation he witnessed while visiting Kyiv, Ukraine, this week to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“Nobody wants to flee from their home. “They went to the basement and had to wait till the sound of the rockets had gone away ... and then not know where to even go for safety,” he said. “And then as you get closer and closer to Kyiv ... you start to see the roadblocks and see the destruction, which is really shocking when you haven’t seen anything like that up close.” While appearing Tuesday on “BBC Breakfast,” Stiller said his first thought on seeing the wreckage in Ukraine was, “It looks like a movie,” but “the scale of it is even bigger, and it’s real, so that’s really distressing. “What you’ve done and the way that you’ve rallied your country, and for the world, it’s really inspiring,” he told Zelensky. “It’s really strange, because when you drive into the ... west of the country, you don’t feel the conflict, except for the curfew at night, where it gets very quiet and a little bit eerie,” he said.
