JAKARTA – Everton midfielder Donny van de Beek expressed his love for war refugees from Ukraine. He wants to spend money to rent a house to accommodate them.

Quoting from the Daily Star, this was revealed by the Ukrainian teammate of the Manchester United loanee at Everton, namely Vitaliy Mykolenko. The generosity of the Dutch player made Mykolenko very surprised.

Mykolenko said that initially a physiotherapist came to him and offered two vacant rooms for refugees. Then came Donny van de Beek with his offer.

"Donny van de Beek, a world class player, approached me and said, 'My father and I want to rent houses for people, either in Holland or in Poland. We will take them from the border, put them in and pay for the houses. that'. I was very surprised. I don't know how to thank these people," Mykolenko said.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has killed thousands and forced millions more to flee to neighboring countries such as Poland. Mykolenko and his compatriots who are grazing in the Premier League also get a lot of support.

They showed their support by wearing T-shirts that read "No War" and waving the Ukrainian flag before the match against Manchester City in February. Meanwhile, the club also contributed a large amount of funds to the emergency committee in Ukraine.

"Everyone came and asked how my family, my friends were. On the second day, the head coach came and said, 'If you need a break if you need time, take your time.

"I thank the club for its support from all sides. The administrator in charge of the equipment said, 'I know the situation you are in, I understand how difficult it is for you. Come to us for dinner, let's talk,' said Mykolenko.

At this time some of Mykolenko's compatriots decided to join as war volunteers. However, the left-back made the bold decision to continue playing and raise awareness of what was happening to his nation, with the backing of his manager Frank Lampard.
