Britain’s slow response to the Ukrainian refugee crisis has drawn fresh criticism on Wednesday in numbers from the Home Office show only 760 visas were issued to those who would like like come to the country.
The Party Leader national Scottish in the House of Commons, Ian Blackford, said no one should support this curator government when it comes to the refugee crisis.
Criticize the low number of visas issued to Ukrainians who fled their war-torn country, Blackford said Poland took over 1.2 million refugees, Hungary more more than 190,000 and Germany over 50,000.
He said the response from the UK Home Office had been one of the worst in Europe, with 760 visas issued, accusing the government of blocking refugees through bureaucracy.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said nearly 1,000 Ukrainians have received visas and he expects the number rise abruptly, adding that hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians will come to the UK.
Johnson also stressed the importance of maintaining their opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He said there will be “dark days ahead, and times” in Ukraine, adding that more will be done for Ukrainian people”working with our friends and allies through the free world.”
Earlier on On Wednesday, Ukraine’s ambassador to London, Vadym Prystaiko, told a parliamentary committee that many Ukrainians do not have biometric passports and that this issue created problems for their applications for visas.
Prystaiko urged British MPs to vote for “some temporary releases of us from rules for allow people to get here.”
“I would be happy if all the barriers fell for a period of when we can get maximum peoplethen we will deal with that and my embassy is here to help,” the ambassador added.
English government previously said they would allow more more than 200,000 refugees from Ukraine but that they also need control their borders.
Johnson named a new minister to negotiate with the growing Ukrainian refugee crisis as critics over situation management escalated for the last a few days, including his own party.
Richard Harrington has been appointed minister for refugees, according to a statement from Downing Street on Tuesday.
Harrington was previously the minister for Syrian refugees and passa down as legislator in 2019. It should be made a peer for life by the government.
Over 2.1 millions people have now left Ukraine since start of the Russian-Ukrainian war two weeks ago, according to United Nations figures.
The European Union has published a warning that the bloc might be forced to host up at 5 millions people who could flee Ukraine if the war continued.
