Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford says he'd like to welcome Ukrainian refugee into his home

Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford has said he would welcome a Ukrainian refugee into his home, but he's said some details would need to be worked out first. The Labour politician was asked if he would join the 10,000 other Welsh households which have said they would take part in a scheme to house those fleeing the conflict in Ukraine.

"We're lucky enough to be able to make an offer of that sort. There's some practical things to be worked through and that's what we're doing at the moment," he told LBC.

Asked if he was keeping an open mind to it, he said: "I'd like to do it, we're in a fortunate position where I live that we could do that, there are some practicalities and we need to make sure that if somebody were to come and live in that way they'd get the safety they need and the welcome, well, they'd definitely get the welcome they need."
