<p>In response to Putin’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine, we launched one of the fastest
and biggest visa schemes in UK history, with over 220,000 visas issued under Ukraine
Schemes; 67,000 through the Ukraine Family Scheme and 156,000 through the Ukraine
Sponsorship Scheme.</p><p>We firmly believe that Ukraine will be safe again and we
will continue to support the Ukrainian Government for as long as is necessary in their
efforts against Putin.</p><p>The Government of Ukraine has been clear that it needs
citizens to return to Ukraine when it is safe to do so, to help rebuild the country.</p><p>Therefore,
our approach has been to provide Ukrainians with access to a three-year visa for temporary
sanctuary in the UK, providing them with certainty and stability while they are here,
to settle into jobs, schooling and accommodation.</p><p>Of course, we keep any future
need for an extension of leave in the UK under review, in line with developments of
the situation in Ukraine.</p>
