'When you look at them, in your heart of hearts, could you really say to them that the UK... is doing everything it could?' lewis_goodall asks UK Ambassador to Poland Anna Clunes whether the UK is doing enough to help Ukrainian refugees 👇 Newsnight
The changes came after criticism that the UK was doing less than EU members, which have agreed to let in Ukrainian refugees for up to three years without first having to seek asylum.
On Friday, Ms Patel will travel to Medyka in eastern Poland, where she will outline the UK's plan for helping Ukrainians displaced by the war. She said the family visa scheme would enable Ukrainians with relatives in the UK "to be welcomed safely, quickly and free of charge". Emergency protection visas would lift normal visa conditions other than security checks, which can be swiftly done en route, and go "beyond the current family provisions", the party says.
"Most want to stay close to home, especially those who have had to leave relatives behind, but the UK must play its part to help people seeking support and safety in our country too," Ms Cooper said.
