More than two million people have now fled Ukraine because of the Russian invasion, according to the UN. The UK government is expected to allow members of the British public to house Ukrainian refugees as the details of a second visa scheme are set to be announced on Monday. So far, the UK government has retained controls on entry and has been criticised for taking in about 1,000 refugees so far.
