"It's overwhelming how resilient the Ukrainian
people are," Schreiber, whose grandfather was of Ukrainian and
Polish descent, told Reuters TV on the sidelines of the World
Economic Forum.
The actor and director spoke after Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelenskiy addressed global business leaders in the Swiss resort,
pressing countries to ratchet up sanctions against Russia as a
warning to others considering using brute force.
The president's speech kicked off in earnest the four-day
meeting that gathers some 2,000 business and economic leaders as
well as experts, with Ukraine topping the agenda.
Schreiber, who made the 2005 movie "Everything is Illuminated"
in Ukraine, is best known as protagonist of the series Ray
Donovan. He said it was just "a matter of time" that Ukrainians
were going to win but the conflict must be kept in the news.
"This could go on for some time and there's a danger of it
fading from the news cycle ... and I think we have to remember
that these people are in the fight of their lives right now for
values and principles that we share, I think, as Europeans and
Americans," he told Reuters TV.
"In terms of what's needed, support, financial support,
strategy, reconstruction - all of these things are perfectly
suited, I think to the World Economic Forum."
