When Jared Leto gave his acceptance speech after winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, he gave a shout-out to Venezuela and Ukraine -- two countries in dangerous times due to political strife. Leto is walking his talk -- the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman has played two shows in Kiev, Ukraine this week, and posted photos of his visit to his Instagram page. During one of the shows -- captured by a fan video on YouTube -- Leto noted that other bands have canceled shows in Ukraine, but that theres no f***ing way that Thirty Seconds to Mars would not show up to this beautiful city in this great country. Ukraine is in the midst of a political crisis over its internal governance, and a military occupation of the Crimea region by Russia. Thirty Seconds to Mars is scheduled to play four shows in Russia, beginning on March 14. Whether Leto and company will get a mixed reception as a result of his voiced political opinions remains to be seen. - Picture from Jared Letos Instagram #jarodleto, #rock1053, #30secondstomars
