Cher says she wants to offer her home to Ukrainian families fleeing Russia’s invasion of their homeland.
The singer and actress, 75, on Twitter called for the “many people” in her “position” to “step up to the plate” and help those displaced by the conflict.
According to the United Nations, more than three million people have now fled Ukraine as Russian forces make their way across the country.
