UK visa for Ukrainian girl, 12, terminated due to 'error'

A 12-year-old Ukrainian refugee has had her visa application to come to the UK "terminated" due to an error by the Government for unknown reasons, her family has said. Anastasia Marunich applied to come to the UK along with five family members after they fled Cherkasy, on the banks of the Dnieper river in central Ukraine, two weeks ago.

But her application - which was aided by her cousin Vitalina Clarke and her husband Callum Clarke - was "unable to be concluded" after she provided biometric data alongside her mother, cousins and aunts at a visa centre in Rzeszow, the largest city in south east Poland, earlier this week.

A Government email sent to Mr Clarke on Friday morning, seen by the PA news agency, said: "The UK Decision Making Centre is currently assessing the application submitted by the above named. We are unable to conclude the application at this time as we require additional information.
