Ukraine’s office of the president said Thursday that Penn had arrived in the capital, Kyiv, to film a documentary about the conflict.<\/p>\n

The 61-year-old actor is working on the project in collaboration with VICE Studios, NBC reported.<\/p>\n

Photos have also surfaced of Penn meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n

Newsweek reported that Penn flew to Kyiv earlier in the week and that he had previously traveled to Ukraine in November. During that trip, Penn met with Russia-backed separatists.<\/p>\n

It’s not Penn’s first time filming a documentary on an international level. His 2015 interview with Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, may have helped lead police to arrest the Mexican drug cartel boss three months later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
