Special visas for Ukrainians who received temporary asylum in Britain after the full-scale invasion of Russia, from the beginning of 2025 can be extended for another 18 months, reports BBC News with reference to the British Home Office.
It is noted that for Ukrainian refugees in the UK have been introduced special categories of visas with a validity period of three years. The first such visas were issued in March 2022 and respectively expire in March 2025. They allow refugees to work in the United Kingdom, as well as give them access to education, health and social benefits.
“Ukrainian nationals in Britain who have been granted asylum under the Homes for Ukraine and Ukrainian Family Program will be able to apply for an 18-month visa extension three months before the visa expires, meaning the first of them can do so early next year,” it said.
Those who have been granted asylum in the country outside of these schemes will also be eligible for the extension, according to the Home Office.
According to BBC News, since the launch of programs for Ukrainians fleeing war, Britain has granted asylum to more than 283,000 people, many of whom have been placed with British families.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy plans to meet with U.S. President Joe Biden online in the near future. The Head of State told Inter TV journalists on the sidelines of the Munich Conference on Saturday, February 17.
“We will be in constant contact with Biden, we have agreed on this. I won’t tell you some details, but I think we will meet online in the framework of the G7 meeting in the near future,” the president said.
He noted that he was in constant contact with the United States at various levels, with the White House and with congressmen.
Zelenskyy also emphasized that during a telephone conversation with the American president on February 17, he assured him that he would support Ukraine and do everything to ensure a positive outcome.
“I am confident that the United States will remain our strategic partner,” the head of state said.
An important part of the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024 (URC2024) in Berlin on June 11-12 this year will be a professional recovery forum aimed at achieving a concrete result in establishing contacts between Ukrainian, German and international stakeholders, German Development Minister Svenja Schulze said.
“This is not an idle conference, we would like to create a business development fund with systemic financial instruments to support, for example, small and medium-sized businesses or to support local reconstruction,” she said at a roundtable discussion on Ukraine’s reconstruction at the Munich Security Conference.
Schulze also noted the intention to create a center to provide municipalities with the information, funding and training services they need.
She said the role of municipalities will be one of the four main topics that will be the focus of URC2024, along with the role of the private sector and private investors, the EU accession process and the reforms needed for it, and the topic of human capital and social recovery.
“We need to mobilize the private sector. This is really important. Not enough public money? – We also need private money. We have local and regional requirements: municipalities and regions need to be part of this process and they need to help drive it forward,” explained the German Development Minister.
According to her, all these topics at the Recovery Conference will also be permeated by the common theme of digitalization, in which Ukraine has already achieved impressive results.

Maryansky Quarry LLC of businessman Igor Mazepa’s Concorde Capital group has been granted the right to buy out a special permit for the use of the Maryansky limestone quarry (Dnipropetrovs’k region) after the winning company lost this right by a decision of the State Service of Geology and Subsoil of Ukraine.
According to the Nadra.info portal, Forsazh LLC was deprived of the right to obtain a special permit because it did not enter into a sale and purchase agreement following the tender, where it offered UAH 151.2 million.

Thus, the right to buy out the special permit was transferred to Maryansky Quarry LLC, which offered UAH 52.2 million at the tender.
