Among Ukrainians who have been granted refugee status in the UK, 41% have been unable to find a job due to uncertainty after the expiry of their three-year visas. Another 22% lost their jobs for the same reason, The Telegraph reports on 22 March, citing the survey data.
It is specified that because of this 24% of refugees can not extend the lease of housing. At the same time, more than half of IDPs (58%) have dependent children of school age.
At the same time, the vast majority (94%) of refugees plan to extend their visa and continue to stay on the territory of the UK. And 68 per cent would like to stay in the country even after the conflict in Ukraine is over.
In total, about 250,000 Ukrainians have been granted refugee status in the UK since the start of the special military operation (SMO).
On 21 March, the media learned about London’s plans to send asylum-seeking migrants to the Balkans. It is specified that UK ministers intend to approach Balkan countries, including Albania, Serbia, Bosnia and North Macedonia, to do this. In implementing the scheme, London will have to pay the host country for each person resettled.
