Jeff J Mitchell / POOL / AFPThe UK government on Monday said it was considering housing Ukrainian refugees in property owned by sanctioned Russian oligarchs, as it prepared to announce a programme for people to open their homes to those fleeing the war.
Protesters on Monday took matters into their own hands, breaking into and occupying a luxury property beneficially owned by oligarch Oleg Deripaska.“We are a property liberation front,” one of the activists told AFP. “I think a war refugee deserves it, it would at least raise his mood a little bit.” But the government’s “Homes for Ukraine” programme could see “tens of thousands” of Ukrainians without family ties be allowed to stay in the UK.
Health minister Javid said the 21 children had been receiving treatment in Ukraine but were forced to leave their homes because of Russia’s invasion. Its insistence on security checks and visas has earned it unfavourable comparisons with the European Union, which has allowed Ukrainians visa-free stays for up to three years.
