A Ukrainian woman fleeing to London with her 14-year-old daughter has told LBC she is 'scared about everything' but hopes and believes 'everything will be ok'
"I'm scared but it's impossible to live without hope.
"Everybody has to have hope because if we will not have the hope, Putin will go to victory... we all have hope and we believe that we will end this Putin regime... one day I will go home.""I will meet my husband, I want to believe in this fact."She said it was "really very important" that she and her daughter could get to the UK.
There is also a large selection of cuddly toys that have been donated, for children who may have had to leave their teddies behind when they fled with their families.The Home Office revealed that only "around 50" visas had been granted under the Ukraine Family Scheme as of 10am on Sunday. Foreign Office minister James Cleverly told LBC on Monday the number would increase "very, very quickly"."This is the largest refugee flow that we have seen since the Second World War.""It will take a little time to get the system up and running, that's now there, I have no doubt that the numbers will start coming through."
He added that the UK authorities had a "duty of care" to those being let in and checks had to be carried out to assess who they were and what help they required.
