<p>The United Kingdom stands firmly with the people of Ukraine.</p><p>The government
has brought forward a bespoke humanitarian support package for the people of Ukraine,
having listened carefully to the Ukrainian Government.</p><p>We have helped hundreds
of British nationals and their family members resident in Ukraine to leave the country,
with Home Office staff working around the clock to assist them.</p><p> </p><p>The
Government has established a Ukraine Family Scheme which is fee free and allows British
nationals and people settled in the UK to bring extended family members to the UK,
covering immediate family members plus parents, grandparents, children over 18 and
siblings, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, cousins and in-laws. Individuals will be
granted leave for three years, giving them certainty and securing their future in
the country. There is no numerical limit. <br></p><p>In addition, the Government has
established a humanitarian sponsorship pathway, led by the Department for Levelling
Up, Housing and Communities, whereby Ukrainians who may not have family ties in the
UK can be sponsored to come to the UK by willing and able individuals, businesses,
or community organisations. There will be no numerical limit on this scheme, and we
will welcome as many Ukrainians as wish to come who have matched sponsors.</p><p>
</p><p>The Home Office will work closely with international partners on the ground
to support displaced Ukrainians in need of a home.</p><p>Further details can be found
