Ukrainians fleeing Putin are refused entry to the U.K.

Well if it was aimed at me Zoejory, I am sorry for your worry about your relative in the armed forces, as I am for all of them,.but i still stick with what i posted. I am not scoring political points, I am bloody furious at this shoddy shameful government that is not stepping up and helping people who are running for their lives. A shoddy shameful government funded with money from Putin's supporters.

Agree Gill

Sorry to report that @ukhomeoffice is refusing entry to Ukrainians at Paris Gare du Nord seeking to join family in UK because they don’t have a visa. And not being helped to apply for a visa.

Johnson has said they are allowed to join family here (as reported in The Guardian).
He stood up in the Ukrainian Cathedral in London and assured the people there that this would be so, now let us see that put into practice.

This is probably some jobsworth applying normal immigration rules, not in extreme circumstances like these.

That MP is an idiot too.

And especially this case study

Hypothetical or an actual case in the last few days?

People are fleeing, not hanging around waiting for permission through the usual channels!!

The EU is allowing Ukranian people in to stay for up to 3 years without going through the normal channels.

I find this news appalling, puts another view on trying to leave a war zone.

They have shown footage of this on Good Morning Britain earlier this morning.

I have emailed Matt Hancock our MP. I don’t hold out hope!
I recommend the article in this morning’s Guardian for details. You cannot bring your elderly mother or siblings, without a visa at about £1200 for a next day visa.

Haven’t seen any news, just read headlines. Just find this as upsetting as everything else. I know people are frightened, but come on, many of these people are just students.

Perhaps the U.K. will offer to rescue them?

Good to hear that we are watching and then following the EU on various decisions.

Speaking to The Independent, Osarumen, a father-of-three, said he and his family members were waved away from the border on Saturday and told, “No blacks”.

“Since then, I’ve been trying to get myself together and focus as normal but it’s been difficult,” he said.

“In all of my years as an activist, I have never seen anything like this. When I look into the eyes of those who are turning us away, I see bloodshot racism; they want to save themselves and they are losing their humanity in the process.

“I cannot imagine a scenario where white Ukranians would ever be denied asylum so how they’re treating us is unwarranted. It’s baseless. We are all escaping so let’s push a common thread.”

How awful can you imagine the outrage if this was happening in the UK.

We are doing it every day!

This government is defined by it’s performative cruelty against
foreigners.

Rubbish.

So you agree with Poland not letting any blacks in then, no condemnation from you it seems.

It's heartening to see Poland opening its borders to Ukrainian refugees who over the past few days I've heard described as their 'brothers and sisters'.

East European countries have shamefully taken very few refugees from war zones over the years - I wonder why.

It might be the time to think of the 100’s if not 1,000’s of refugees who are stuck in no mans land between Poland and Belarus, I wonder if they will be allowed to continue on their journeys to safety?

You have no idea of my reaction to this, as I haven’t posted about it.

But I have noticed that where you can your posts are trying to divide those allies fighting and resisting Russia.
