The Story Of Former Hole Personnel Moving To Ukraine Helps Victims Affected By War

JAKARTA - Lisa Roberts, the founder's bassist of Hole, revealed that she moved to Ukraine to help victims affected by the Russian attack.

Roberts co-founded the grunge band with Courtney Love and Eric Erlandson in 1989 and was part of the group for one year.

He left Hole a few months after their first show of the year in Raji's in California.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, it was revealed that he moved to Ukraine to help the country's struggles after the Russian invasion in 2022.

He called his Ukrainian friends in the metal community the reason he was interested in the country. He moved to Donbas to work as a logistics manager at NGO Road to Relief after learning that his friends needed help.

Roberts currently lives in California to study paramedics and plans to return to Ukraine to complete a voluntary job when he completes his studies.

For now I am sitting here in America, depressed, surrounded by people who don't care and don't see war with Russia as a matter of their lifestyle. They don't care. They don't want to talk about it and they really don't care about what I say about it," Roberts told The Daily Beast.

If I had the opportunity to come back, I don't think I would ever come back here. I have no reason for that," he added.
