The movement of people out of Ukraine since Vladimir Putin’s invasion began on 24 February has triggered the largest refugee crisis in Europe since the Second World War, according to the UN. “In light of the emergency and paramount humanitarian needs of refugees from Ukraine, an inter-agency regional refugee response is being carried out, in support of refugee-hosting countries’ efforts.” Ukrainian evacuees queue as they wait for further transport at the Medyka border crossing, after they crossed the Ukrainian-Polish border on Tuesday With millions of uprooted Ukrainians now spread across Europe, the UK is under mounting pressure to play its part in the humanitarian effort. People who fled the war in Ukraine rest inside an indoor sports stadium being used as a refugee centre in the Polish village of Medyka On Tuesday, UNHCR warned that thousands of Ukrainians who were already in the UK at the time of the Russian invasion risk being left in a “precarious state” unless the government moves to quickly grant them leave to remain.
