A British host who volunteered for the Homes for Ukraine scheme has hit out at Priti Patel for the Home Office’s decision to deny a visa to an 11-year-old girl fleeing the war.
The young Ukrainian girl, called Alisa Miroshyna, was meant to be travelling from Poland to the UK with her aunt and niece but she has had her visa denied because the government views her as an “unaccompanied minor”.
