UK prioritising getting Brits out of Ukraine, minister says

The UK government is prioritising British nationals and their families leaving Ukraine as people flee the threat of war, the home office minister Damian Hinds said.

A “relatively small” number of UK nationals and their Ukrainian families had applied for special family visas, Hinds told LBC radio, after he was asked if the government had a plan to help refugees from Ukraine.

“We are prioritising those applications and turning them around quickly,” he added.

The UK Foreign Office continues to advise against all travel to Ukraine, and says “British nationals in Ukraine should leave now while commercial means are still available”.
