actor

, who announced a few weeks ago that he was planning to welcome Ukrainian refugees into his home, revealed during the promotional tour for his new film

that their arrival was imminent.

“They came out of Ukraine, I follow their progress every day.

Unfortunately they are undergoing medical treatment – ​​to say more about that would be an invasion of their privacy and to say too much about when they arrived and how it is handled would be an invasion of mine – but I want to give them some stability after the turmoil they've been through, and I want to do that at home," he told Britain's Sky News.

In connection with the NGO Refugees at Home

In the meantime, Benedict Cumberbatch also revealed that he had helped (financially) Ukrainian families already residing in England before the war to welcome their compatriots.

“I work through a wonderful charity called Refugees at Home which is a great gateway to the government program but also to providing the wider support needed for the psychological trauma these people are suffering from.

As gentle, generous and welcoming as we are as hosts, we do not have the skills of mental health professionals to deal with these issues,” he added.

And to conclude: "I encourage people to seek help to support their efforts, and people are doing an incredible amount of things - it makes me very proud, very, very proud of our country and very proud of what we can be when we give our best as human beings.
