Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russia nation, the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has announced that fleeing Ukrainians will be allowed entry into the United Kingdom.
The Minister said they can enter the country on the basis that they have immediate family members residing in the country.
“We want to be as generous as we possibly can to Ukraine, and indeed we want people who have relatives in Ukraine to be able to bring them over as fast as possible.
“We want to make sure that we have routes for Ukrainians fleeing disaster, war, persecution in Ukraine to come here,” the Prime Minister told reporters.
This is part of a new £40 million humanitarian package to supply necessities and medical supplies.
“We’re providing all the military and economic support we can to help those Ukrainians risking everything to protect their country.”
“In the last days, the world has witnessed awe-inspiring displays of bravery and heroism from the Ukrainian people in response to those who seek to obliterate their freedom by force,” Johnson said.
Johnson, however said more details of the new Ukrainian visa policy will be announced in Parliament this week.
