Boris Johnson has promised to be "very generous" towards Ukrainian refugees, amid criticism over the number granted visas.

It emerged on Sunday that only 50 have been given visas since the conflict began, prompting calls for the UK to do more for people fleeing danger.

It comes amid confusion over whether access will be widened access beyond the current schemes.

Ukrainian refugees wanting to re-unite with relatives in the UK are blocked in Calais (yes, the UK border is in France).

It remains the case that if you are a Ukrainian refugee who manages to get to Calais, you have to go to Paris & make an appointment to start the process of getting a visa. The next available appointments are more than a week away.
