The Welsh Government is calling on more Welsh households to take in Ukrainians fleeing the war. After pausing its super-sponsor scheme for Ukrainian refugees, there is now a need for more accommodation for families looking to escape Putin's unprovoked and illegal war.
Welcome centres were set up across Wales including in hotels and university accommodation. The idea was arrivals would go to those and are then moved onto medium and longer-term accommodation. There are 40 sites across Wales for initial accommodation which is a diverse mix of places.
Every household that was originally a sponsor committed to six months. Of the 2,800 who agreed to take refugees ONS estimates suggest that a quarter (700) will stop providing accommodation at the end of the six-month period.
