A journey to remember
In September 2024, Michael and Dylan Douglas traveled to Kyiv, where they explored the city and experienced Ukraine’s culture and resilience firsthand.
In their visit, they:
- Dined at renowned Ukrainian chef Yevhen Klopotenko’s restaurant, where they tried borsch.
- Visited the Museum of Ukraine’s History in World War II, witnessing exhibits on past and present conflicts.
- Met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, discussing global support for Ukraine.
Michael Douglas also took the stage at the Forst Spouses' Summit, where he called for continued international backing of Ukraine.
For Dylan, the experience was deeply personal. He later described his time in Ukraine as "the adventure of a lifetime."
