Refugees who fled the war from Ukraine get on the bus at the Medyka border crossing in Poland, on Saturday, March 12, 2022

Ukrainians without family ties in Britain will soon be able to come to the country if they are matched and housed with a sponsor under the Homes for Ukraine programme. 

Cabinet minister Michael Gove said today that he expects the scheme to bring tens of thousands of Ukrainians to Britain.
