The actor and director returns to be heard in support of Ukraine via Twitter, inviting them to support the country militarily
Sean Penn returns to be heard a support of Ukraine. The Oscar-winning actor and director addressed a appeal via Twitter to the billionaires of the world by inviting them to contribute financially to Kiev’s military expenses (specifically the purchase of airplanes, repeatedly requested by the country), arguing that just one “very rich” on the planet would be enough to put an end to the conflict.
Penn, who at the outbreak of the war was in Ukraine shooting a documentary on the crisis between Kiev and Moscow, exhibited precise calculations in support of his request: “According to sources open to all, two squadrons of F-15 or F-16 (these are 12 planes with better technology than Russian Mig or Sukhoi) that Ukrainian pilots could learn to fly with easy training (3 weeks) would cost private sector buyers about 300 million dollars»He writes.
To these, continues the actor and director, it would be enough to add 200 million for a missile defense device, for a total investment of 500 million dollars. “A billionaire could put an end to this war – concludes Penn -. Of course there would be additional expenses for arming and maintaining airstrips, but it seems to me worth thinking about it ».
By open source, 2 squadrons of F-15?s or 16?s (that?s 12 aircraft with better tech than Russian Migs or SU?s) quickly trainable (3 weeks) to Ukrainian aviators would cost private sector buyers approx $300M. Add another $200M in missile defense for a total of $500M. (1/2)

Sean Penn, 61, is repeatedly expressed forcefully in support of Ukraine. On the eve of the delivery of the Oscars, he had called for a boycott of the ceremony if it was not granted to the president Volodymir Zelensky to intervene live, as was initially assumed. He himself met Zelensky during the filming of the documentary, being very impressed by the determination of the Ukrainian leader: “Seeing him in his eyes was an inspiration,” he said speaking live on “Che tempo che fa”.
