There will be no winter refugee crisis from Ukraine, the country's deputy PM has said, despite the brutal Russian bombardment causing widespread blackouts
Ukraine’s electricity grid is coming under pressure from repeated Russian attacks, and large swathes of the country are without power in the bitter cold of winter.
She said: "Yes, we are preparing for the hard-heating season", adding that the electricity grid could suffer further blackouts. Some 12 million refugees have left Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion in February, according to the UN. More than 100,000 have come to the UK. As part of the deal, the government says that Ukrainian businesses will have guaranteed access to UK-based financial services companies, which should help the country's recovery after the Russian invasion.
