Summary: Over 4 million refugees have left Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion. Many of those fleeing the conflict have found temporary accommodation in neighbouring countries. This number is rising on a daily basis and the UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) reports that over 6.5 million people are displaced inside Ukraine. The UK Government has opened a number of routes for those seeking sanctuary in the United Kingdom. This article summarises the ways Ukrainian refugees can come to the UK, with a particular focus on the UK Government’s Homes for Ukraine refugee scheme. It will look at the role the Welsh Government and other organisations will play in welcoming refugees to Wales. |
