Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to Ukrainians fighting in the war who have been given 10 days' leave, whether she plans to take steps to ensure that they can come to the UK to visit their families and have no impediment to obtaining a visa to do so.

The UK has been at the heart of the international response to Russian aggression, taking a hard-headed approach based on military strength, economic security and deeper global alliances. Our aim remains clear: we will support Ukraine to succeed.

Home Office officials continue to work closely with the Government of Ukrainian on our measures to date to ensure our measures respond directly to their needs and asks, including on the development of the Ukraine visa schemes.

It should also be noted Ukrainian Law places restrictions on men aged 18 to 60 leaving the country at this time.
