Fleeing refugees who hold a passport will be able to complete a visa application to the UK's Ukraine Family Scheme digitally, Priti Patel has confirmed
PM under pressure over visa processinghas come under pressure, including from Kyiv and his own Conservative MPs, to rapidly increase the rate of Ukrainians being welcomed into safety.
Ms Patel faced calls in the Commons from her own back benches to set up more processing centres in the UK, specifically for elderly and vulnerable Ukrainians fleeing war.Conservative former minister Harriett Baldwin said:"The House of Commons library says that there are 35,000 Ukrainian citizens here in the UK. I know that they are sick to death of worrying for their elderly mothers, babies, grandchildren and so on.
Hundreds of Ukrainian refugees trying to get to the UK have turned up at Calais over the past few days but most have been told to go to Paris or Brussels. Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the UK's response to people fleeing Ukraine has been"shameful".
