In December there will be 1,000 days since the Homes for Ukraine was launched, which has enabled over 150,000 Ukrainians to find shelter in the UK. Our research on Ukrainian youth demonstrates that they still find themselves in the limbo. birmingham.ac.uk/schools/gees/r…

Following the Citizens UK, we advocate for launching pathways to residency and citizenship for Ukrainians, enabling them to stay after their visas expire. @ProfSaraJones @peterkraftl @LES_UniBham @Centrala_space @Bham_Citizens @IRiS_Birmingham citizensuk.org/campaigns/migr…
