Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds and his wife actress Blake Lively will match up to $1 million in aid to displaced Ukrainians.

As of Sunday, about 368,000 Ukrainian refugees had arrived in neighboring countries, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Reynolds and Lively promised on social media to match donations made to “USA for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.”

“In 48 hours, countless Ukrainians were forced to flee their homes to neighboring countries. They need protection. When you donate, we’ll match it up to $1,000,000, creating double the support,” Reynolds said.
