Miley Cyrus shared her experience in the Ukraine, where she filmed the 2019 music video for “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart”.

“This morning was heartbreaking waking up to the news that Ukraine had been invaded. I had the most incredible experience filming ‘Nothing Breaks Like A Heart’ in Kyiv and will be forever grateful to the local community who welcomed me with open arms,” she wrote on Twitter.

Cyrus added that she is standing in solidarity with everyone in Ukraine.

"My thoughts are with the Ukrainian people. I have been asked to do several interviews, but I believe the news should continue to focus on what’s happening on the ground - on the tragedy that has broken our hearts and on the courage of the Ukrainian people that has inspired us, " former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote on Twitter.

Cardi B tweeted: “Wish these world leaders [would] stop tripping about power and really think about who's really getting affected (citizens) besides the whole world is in a crisis. War, sanctions, invasions should be the last thing these leaders should worry about.”
