More than 100,000 people fleeing the war in Ukraine have been resettled in the UK, Government figures show. Some 104,000 people had arrived in the UK under Ukraine visa schemes as of Monday, data published by the Home Office and UK Visas and Immigration revealed.
The milestone was reached more than four months after the Government's visa schemes were launched in March. The Government has thanked members of the public for their generosity in opening their homes to those seeking safety from Russia's invasion.
The total includes 31,300 people under the family scheme, and 72,700 people under the Homes for Ukraine sponsorship scheme. Overall, there have been almost 200,000 visa applications, meaning just over half of those who have applied have arrived in the UK.
