And after they reach BritainThe family had a fully equipped house, bills and rent paid for at least a year, but the surprise was that the owner of the house is a star "rock and roll" british veteran, Rod Stewart (77 years old).
Commenting on the move, Sir Rod Stewart told the newspaper "Mirror" British: "I walked through the door and they all came running down the stairs, beautifully dressed in the Ukrainian national costume. It was great that they all made such an effort. They made me a cup of tea and we had a lot of biscuits and chocolate, though the baby kept taking all I had.".
He pointed out that the story began one evening several months ago, when he was following up with his wife Benny, scenes from The war in Ukraine By the news bulletin, they felt very sad and the need to provide any possible assistance.
He continued: "Words cannot describe what we were watching. I told Penny that if the news reports were in black and white we would feel like watching footage from World War II".
Consistency: "She was born right after the war, so my family has many memories of her. So it was devastating to me. I didn’t think we’d see the likes of ground war with tanks again".
From that moment on, Stewart was determined to try to make a difference. He said: "My nephew Warren and I thought we’d better do something, so he suggested we gather some trucks and fill them with supplies and whatever they need.".
He explained that 3 trucks and a team have already been sent to Ukraine, and the trucks returned loaded with 16 refugees and transported them to Berlin.
Although the mission was a success, Stewart did not want to stop there, so he made contact with Rostislav and his family, who were not part of the Sixteen Refugees.
In addition to the home he gave them, Stewart also created jobs for two other refugees on his sprawling Essex property, one of whom is now his gardener..
When asked about the reason that prompted him to speak publicly about this step, he said: "I thought carefully before making these details public, but being knighted in 2016 (for his services to music and charity) dramatically changed the way I think.".
He concluded his speech by saying: "I usually keep all my charitable efforts in secret, but I thought (I’m a knight), I’ve been knighted for the things I’ve accomplished in my life and the charitable work I’ve done over the years, but that was in the past; I want to be seen doing something, I should use my power to do something for people. I’m sure if there are people who see what I’m doing, they will help as well".
