Former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko says he will house Ukrainian child refugees | ITV News

Former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko has confirmed he will house child Ukrainian refugees in his home.

The ex-Ukraine manager and the country’s greatest ever player is also helping to bring 150 people of all ages fleeing the conflict in his homeland to the UK.

He told ITV News: "The war is very cruel and it’s hard to see the cities being destroyed, the people dying, I’m a father of four kids and for me to see images of kids dying, the bombs going at a kid’s hospital, I can’t stand that. I don’t think any person in the world can stand for that.

“I try to support my country, I try to raise attention, I tried to speak about exactly what’s going on, I try to touch the heart of the people and then to understand the circumstances. Of course I try to raise humanitarian aid and help my country, my people, refugees".
