In a post on Instagram, Chris Jericho addressed the 2022 Russia-Ukraine crisis and wrote about his Ukrainian heritage:
“My Mom’s maiden name is Klewchuk and my grandparents were born in the #Ukraine & emigrated to Canada in the 1920’s. When I was a kid, my Baba & Gido taught me Ukrainian customs, fed me Ukrainian food, spoke to me in Ukrainian; I went to Ukrainian summer camp when I was 12 and I’ve been to more Ukrainian weddings than I can count!! This is my heritage. This is my lineage. This is my history. Im proud to be half Ukrainian and I’m proud to say that Ukrainians are TOUGH AF…. Мої думки та молитви звертаються до кожного українця, який зараз бореться за свободу. ти завжди маєш мою підтримку і любов!?? #standwithukraine”
