Around 15,000 refugees (7.5% of the total) who came to the kingdom from Ukraine following the outbreak of the conflict became homeless in the UK. This was reported by the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph, citing data from the Ministry of Regional Development and Housing. TASS.
The publication’s interlocutors said that many Ukrainian refugees became homeless due to the fact that sponsors undertake to provide housing only for six months, and then they can act at their discretion.
