Rod Stewart, who doesn’t have any official political ties, recently revealed that he doesn’t support Russia’s war against Ukraine. During a February 2024 sit down with Sky News, Stewart spoke out against Russia’s Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine in 2022. “You let that a***hole into Ukraine, he’ll get into every NATO country,” said Stewart. “And we’ll have to join the army.”
He continued, “We have to support Ukraine right to the end. Peace in the Middle East as well.” However, Stewart stressed that he had no hard feelings for Russian citizens during an interview with The Scottish Daily Express (via The Cheatham County Exchange). Stewart also revealed that he and his wife, Penny Lancaster, personally funded aid for several Ukrainian citizens.
Stewart further detailed his efforts to help the Ukrainian people while speaking with The Las Vegas Review-Journal in May of 2023. “When the war broke out, me and my two nephews had four trucks filled up with paper products, towels, water, food, all the stuff you need,” Stewart shared with the publication (via Bang Showbiz). “They drove from where I live in England, all the way up to the border, dropped all the stuff off. Then they brought about a thousand refugees from the border to Berlin.” Stewart also compared Putin to Hitler. “I’m just waiting for the Ukrainian offensive to stop this guy, we can’t let him win,” continued Stewart. “It’s 1939, all over again.”
