Benedict Cumberbatch On Ukraine Situation
Speaking on the matter Cumberbatch said, “They’ve made it out of Ukraine; I’m monitoring their progress every day,” Cumberbatch said. “Sadly, they are undergoing some medical treatment. To say anything more about that would be an invasion of their privacy. The too much about when they’re coming and how that’s being managed would invade mine. I want to give them some stability after the turmoil that they’ve experienced, and that’s within my home.”
Cumberbatch also claimed that he is assisting other migrants escaping Ukraine by paying for their shelter in the UK. The Oscar nominee is collaborating with Ukrainian families in the United Kingdom.

“I’ve been trying to help out with that financially in a couple of instances,” Cumberbatch spoke.

“Everyone needs to do as much as they can. I think already today the news has broke that there’s been a record number of people volunteering to take people into their homes. I hope to be part of that myself.”
