As a result, we actively keep the Ukraine schemes under consistent review.</p><p /><p>The UK Government stands with Ukraine and firmly believes that Ukraine will be safe again. When it’s safe to do so, Ukraine will need the repatriation of its citizens to help recover and rebuild their economy and infrastructure.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 11/01/2024 11:21:56 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
