Ukrainians on Edinburgh cruise ship set to be moved into new homes

Ukrainian refugees on board a cruise ship in Edinburgh will be moved into new accommodation by July, the council has confirmed.

Over 1,000 people are still living on the MS Victoria which has been docked at Leith since last summer as part of efforts to accommodate displaced refugees who have arrived in the country following the Russian invasion.

The ship's contract was renewed in December, however the Scottish Government said it will end on July 11 - with all on board due to be moved into settled accommodation by then.
