'We want to give you a little update on our campaign to stand with Ukraine,' Kutcher began in the video.
'We have raised over $20 million in less than a week. And I say we because it's all of us together. Some people didn't have the means to give, and they've done an unbelievable job of getting the word out and sharing it. But we're not done. Our goal is $30m, and we're going to get there.'

The Friends With Benefits star then took over for her husband, saying, 'But we do want to say thank you to the 56,000 of you who were able to donate and supported us. Whether it was the $5, the $10, the $1,000, whatever it was it means so much to us because it does bring in a community and a sense of belonging and an ability to help.'
'Let's keep pushing. Let's keep spreading the word, and we, together, can hit our goal of $30million,' Kutcher said. 'The first humanitarian aid is already on the ground. Flexport's already delivering planes that are delivering humanitarian aid to these NGOs, and Air BnB is already taking in refugees.
Very grateful: The stars thanked everyone who donated, and everyone who didn't have the means to donate but still go the word out about the fundraiser
Not done yet: The Hollywood couple say they are not done fundraising yet and are hoping to hit their goal of $30 million

'There have been over one million children, this is just children, that are in refugee status right now, and so every bit that we can do helps, and we appreciate you.'
Kutcher captioned the post, 'Thank you to everyone that got us to $20m in less than a week. We can do this. We can hit our goal. Together. Because we stand together with Ukraine. #standwithukraine.'
