Russia-Ukraine War: UK Invites Britons To Open Homes To Ukrainians

Stung by criticism of its lacklustre approach to refugees fleeing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the UK on Sunday unveiled a new scheme to allow them to stay with Britons for up to three years.

The "Homes for Ukraine" programme will allow "tens of thousands" to gain access to work, healthcare and education, even without family ties to Britain, cabinet secretary Michael Gove said.

The government wanted to try to ensure that "every available home" is opened up "to those who are fleeing persecution", he told Sky News.

"There are a large number of people in this country, generous hearted and in a position to provide homes, and businesses and charities as well," added Gove, whose portfolio includes housing.

Hosts will be given £350 ($457, 418 euros) a month and must commit to a minimum stay of six months -- potentially a stumbling block when Britons are grappling with the worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation.
