Ukraine war: More details of the new Ukrainian visa policy is set to be announced in the British Parliament this week.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion can come to the UK if they already have members of their immediate family settled in the country.
As part of a new 40 million pounds humanitarian package for the supply of basic necessities and medical supplies such as medicines, syringes, dressings and wound care pack, Johnson confirmed that any person settled in the UK will be able to bring their Ukrainian immediate family members to join them here.
Downing Street said this would benefit many thousands of people who at this moment are making desperate choices about their future.
"The UK will not turn our backs in Ukraine's hour of need. We are providing all the economic and military support we can to help those Ukrainians risking everything to protect their country,” Johnson said.
