A demonstrator holds a British flag during a protest, at Parliament Square in London, Britain, on March 6, 2022.LONDON - Britain will pay people to open their homes to Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion as the government moves to deflect anger over its response to the refugee crisis.
Britain will pay people 350 pounds a month if they can offer refugees a spare room or property for a minimum period of six months. Lawmakers from all the main political parties have attacked the government's insistence that Ukrainians seek visas and biometric tests before arriving in Britain, saying this prioritised bureaucracy over the welfare of those fleeing war.
"The UK stands behind Ukraine in their darkest hour and the British public understand the need to get as many people to safety as quickly as we can," Michael Gove, the minister for housing, said in a statement.
