Hayden Panettiere’s Unexpected Ukraine Activism

Hayden Panettiere, the actress best known for her role in Heroes, had a surprising connection to Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko. The two met at a party in 2008, when Panettiere was just 18 and Klitschko was already an established athlete.

Their romance was both public and dramatic, with the couple attending each other's events and supporting each other's careers. Panettiere even joined Klitschko onstage at protests in Kyiv in 2013, calling on the crowd to stand up against President Viktor Yanukovych.
