Conor Kennedy goes to Ukraine to assist in the war
The backstory:
In 2022, Conor secretly traveled to the Ukraine to assist in its defense against Russia.
However, word began to spread of his whereabouts, he posted a photo to Instagram detailing his reasons for joining the fight despite having no military experience.
What they're saying:
"Like many people, I was deeply moved by what I saw happening in Ukraine over the past year. I wanted to help. When I heard about Ukraine’s International Legion, I knew I was going, and I went to the embassy to enlist the next day," Conor wrote back in 2022.
RFK Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines, stated during an interview with People magazine in 2022 that while they didn't completely agree with Conor’s decision, they were still proud of him.
