Harry Styles invited three Ukrainian refugees to his Love On Tour concert in Warsaw, Poland, on Sunday night.

The 29-year-old singer is touring the world as part of his highly anticipated 2023 tour, which will conclude in Italy later this month.

And he collaborated with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) to invite a Ukrainian family to watch his performance at PGE Narodowy Stadium.

Maryna, her daughter Daria, 13, and their friend Daria Kathina were devastatingly forced to flee their homes in Ukraine amid the Russian invasion last year.

They now live in Sosnowiec, Poland, and seemed to be having a great time on the show wearing Love On Tour merchandise while cheering on Harry.

Speaking of the experience, Maryna – who also has a son, 10 – shared how it allowed them to ‘forget’ their worries after the ‘challenge’ of adjusting to life in a new country.

She said: “Since we were forced to leave our home in Ukraine last year, adjusting to life in a new country has been a challenge, especially for my daughter, Daria, and my 10-year-old son.

“I am so grateful to Harry Styles and the IRC, who supported me to pursue my dream career in Poland, for giving us the chance to forget our worries for a night and sing and dance at the concert.”

Maryna, who wants to become a tram driver, and her family fled their hometown of Mykolayiv in July 2022 before finding safety in Sosnowiec.

They are now rebuilding their lives in the Polish city, with the help of the IRC’s Step to Work project for Ukrainian refugees.

The family is among nearly six million Ukrainians forced to flee their homes during the Russian invasion of the country.

The IRC has worked to support more than 94,000 Ukrainian refugees in Poland and many others in Europe, the UK and the US to rebuild their lives.

Harry is in the middle of his Love On Tour shows which first started in 2021 in support of his second and third albums Fine Line and Harry’s House.

He now plans to travel to Germany, Austria, Spain and Portugal in the coming months for his final show in Reggio Emilia, Italy, on July 22.

The tour consists of seven legs spanning 22 months and began in September 2021 in Las Vegas.

During his tour, the One Direction star recently got a red face when a fan introduced him during his performance in Belgium, sending fans into overdrive.

During a break from singing, the English pop star stopped to chat with the audience, pointing cheekily at a fan and asking her name.

The fan asked twice if he was referring to her, and Harry quipped, grinning, “You? You!’

The lucky fan girl said her name was Lorraine, to which he replied with a grin on his face, “Lorraine is fine. I mean, in English it’s not that hard.’

“I know some of us are terrible, but we can handle Lorraine,” Harry joked.

The As It Was hitmaker went on to rouse the crowd, saying “make some noise for Lorraine.”

The fan then told him how she turned 27 the next day, and Harry then asked her if she had “big dreams” for her 27th birthday.

To what was probably a “you” reply, Harry immediately blushed and turned away when he got confused.

The Sign Of The Time singer couldn’t contain the cheeky laugh up to that point either – and walked across the stage hilariously shaking his head.

“Outrageous, Lorraine!” he replied with a grin on his face.

The viral clip caused a storm on social media and fans quickly reacted to the cheeky interaction between him and the fan.
