True Ukraine

Sean Penn received a makeshift Oscar in Ukraine after skipping the official ceremony, having won for 'One Battle After Another'. The award was made from the metal of a railcar hit by a Russian attack. He has a history of supporting Ukraine, previously gifting an Oscar to the country.

The claims are largely supported by medium-reliability sources. Sean Penn did miss the Oscars ceremony but won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for 'One Battle After Another'. This claim is verified by multiple sources. He also received a symbolic Oscar in Ukraine made from railcar metal, and he gifted an Oscar to Ukraine in the past. These claims are well-supported by the evidence.
