Secure Status for Ukrainian Displaced Persons in the UK and EU
Of the 6 million Ukrainians displaced to European countries, around 4% came to the UK (4th in terms of number of arrivals after Germany, Poland and Czechia). Around 210,000 people arrived under Ukrainian Schemes and 121,600 remained in the country. Public opinion and sentiment in the UK is in favour of this support (6 of 10 UK adults would confirm long-term support to Ukrainian refugees). However, displaced Ukrainians face difficulties in securing long term status in host countries despite special provisions for temporary immigration status.
