SIX friends who set up a free legal advice service for Ukrainian refugees seeking safety in Britain amid a woeful lack of government support have now helped 1,400 people. 

The Ukrainian Advice Project UK was launched on February 28 in the wake of Russia’s invasion to give pro bono legal advice to Ukrainians left in the lurch by the Home Office’s chaotic and slow response to the crisis. 

Since then the project — now just three weeks old — has helped more than 1,400 Ukrainian refugees and registered 670 volunteer lawyers, including 430 immigration specialists.
