The actor also praised Ukrainians’ spirit of resistance and offered advise on how to keep faith in difficult times. He said:
“It makes no difference if there are just two Ukrainians left; they will fight till the end. I want them to be strong fighters. Only something from above, not from below, will be able to put an end to this craziness when the time comes.”
Social media users widely circulated the interview tape, however instead of focusing on Mickey Rourke’s statements about Russia-Ukraine, some people noticed that he was not immediately recognizable in the clip.
