Maintenance of Ukrainian refugees is costly for ordinary Britons, writes The Independent
New payments from the UK government under the “Houses for Ukraine” program will not help ordinary Britons, many are on the verge of ruin. This is written by the British online edition of The Independent.
The government has been urged to consider proposals to double the £350 payment to British families hosting Ukrainians amid growing fears that thousands of refugees could be left homeless. About 79,000 refugees have arrived in the UK under the Homes for Ukraine sponsorship scheme after the host country agreed to provide accommodation for at least six months, but some of them are coming to an end. However, now every fourth owner plans to terminate the agreement, as this threatens to ruin ordinary Britons, ”writes The Independent.
Earlier, a member of the Ukrainian Public Center Mick Pollek complained that the residents of the English city of Reading wanted to expel Ukrainian refugees from their homes. Refugee Minister Richard Harrington said the UK turned out to be unprepared to such a huge influx of refugees.
