Ukraine

The Green Party is calling for the UK to step up and follow EU leadership in granting asylum for all Ukrainians and establish safe routes for people to come here. #RefugeesWelcome

The Russian-led war on the sovereign state of Ukraine has already seen disastrous loss of life and countless displaced people. As it stands, the UK will only be allowing Ukrainians seeking refuge to enter with a visa. Visas are only available to spouses, unmarried partners of at least two years, parents or their children if one is under 18, or adult relatives who are carers. Ukrainians coming to the UK face criminalisation if they fail to tick those boxes.
