The businessman Emil Tiberov from Plovdiv accommodated in his hotel 6 Ukrainian families with small children. “They are mostly women with their children, the youngest child is 6 months old and the oldest is 8-9 years old,” he told Plovdiv24.bg Tiberov. “People will stay with him for free, as long as they have to, because ‘there is no way they can return to a military and devastated Ukraine soon,'” he said.
“I went to pick them up from the border with Romania and brought them here to Plovdiv, I accommodated them with me,” he added, adding that his wife is a woman well known in Ukraine. She is a world champion in rhythmic gymnastics with the ensemble. of the former Soviet Union.
She was also a classmate of Klitschko. Tiberov also has a long-standing business with Ukraine and that is why he has many friends there. In fact, his friends from Ukraine called to ask for their wives to be welcomed. And Tiberov responded immediately. At the border he takes another elderly woman with his two grandchildren, whom he does not know. Today she left for her acquaintances in Germany.
In the beginning, Emil Tiberov expected someone from the state to help with something, but now he knows that he has to do it alone. Because, in his words, “the state has none.” Only the Red Cross brought a few products – sacks of food and flour. His friends, who keep warehouses, responded and brought him eggs, sausages, chicken, chocolates, clothes.
“People are sympathetic. Our authorities are gone, but the people are sympathetic,” he said. “I do not hope for their compassion, I rely on the people,” he added.
Currently, one of the grandmothers, 83 years old, is a little sick, she will be sought medical help. Hopefully doctors will respond, Tiberov hopes.
