Daniel Donskoy is a Russian-born German actor born in Moscow who became one of Germany's most prominent television and film actors, known for major roles in German productions and his vocal support for Ukraine following Russia's 2022 invasion.

Tracing the roots — Moscow (Russia)
Born in Moscow in 1991 and emigrating to Germany as a child, Donskoy grew up between two cultures and has been outspoken about his Russian identity and his opposition to Putin's regime. His public statements supporting Ukraine — at personal and professional cost — represent the clearest position taken by any prominent Russian-born German entertainer.
