Nicola Sturgeon has branded the refugee situation for Ukrainians wanting sanctuary in the UK as “unconscionable and indefensible” and called for the UK Government to remove the “wall of bureaucracy” they currently face.
Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion can enter the European Union without a visa and live there for three years, but if they want to come to the UK, they have to either have relatives here already and apply for a family visa, or have a British sponsor for their visa application.
