The first Ukrainian refugees fleeing Vladimir Putin's bloody war of aggression could arrive in Scotland as soon as this weekend, Nicola Sturgeon has announced.
The First Minister told MSPs today that Westminster had agreed "in principle" for the Scottish Government to become a super sponsor for those seeking refuge in a bid to speed up the process.
The SNP leader said final operational details still needed to be ironed out with the Home Office - which has sole power to issue visas to people arriving in the UK - before refugees could arrive.
