Scotland temporarily suspends the reception of Ukrainian refugees

Scotland temporarily suspends the sponsorship scheme for Ukrainian refugees for three months, The Guardian reports. The country's government says that the pause is caused by a lack of proper housing and that they need to "ensure safety and support" to the displaced people who have already arrived. It is reported that the Scottish authorities have already submitted a request to the British government to reject all visa applications in which Ukrainians choose Scotland as their super-sponsor.   We will remind that, unlike the EU, Britain did not introduce a mechanism of temporary protection for Ukrainians. Instead, the British government introduced the Homes for Ukraine scheme, under which Ukrainians can immigrate to the country if they find a sponsor - a citizen of the United Kingdom, ready to provide their housing to refugees for free. In the case of Wales and Scotland, local governments act as super-sponsors themselves and are engaged in finding housing for displaced people.
