Changes to UK visa rules for Ukrainians called ‘shameful’ by Labour
The Guardian says Boris Johnson has faced criticism after much-anticipated changes to visa rules for Ukrainians hoping to seek refuge in the UK from the war turned out to be minimal.

Downing Street first announced the change on Sunday evening, after coming under pressure for days from campaigners and opposition parties angered by the failure of the Home Office to announce a wide-ranging visa waiver for Ukrainians seeking sanctuary.
