The UK’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine saw over 200,000 visas being issued and more than 150,000 Ukrainians arriving in the UK. Yet, as we enter the second year of the humanitarian refugee schemes supporting Ukrainians, and with no imminent end to the conflict in Ukraine, the future of the Ukrainian refugees in Britain is increasingly uncertain.
Aspen UK, in collaboration with Opora, are hosting this timely discussion on the future of Ukrainian refugees as we approach the end of the three-year visa period. We will be bringing together policymakers, community advocates, and people with lived experience for a discussion about this complex problem. What options will be available to Ukrainians once their visas expire? And, how can Ukrainian refugees navigate and reconcile the uncertainties regarding their eventual return or long-term settlement?
Panel to be announced soon!
Doors open at 18:00 with the panel discussion starting at 18:30 and a reception from 20:30 onwards.
