But it is even worse to just imagine what is happening in the settlements that are still under temporary occupation in the east," Zelenskyy responded. Stiller posted about his visit on social media. "It was an honour to meet President @ZelenskyyUa on #WorldRefugeeDay as part of my visit with UNHCR @Refugees to stand in solidarity with people forced to flee in Ukraine and worldwide, and bring more attention to the humanitarian situation," Stiller tweeted.
