The UK’s home secretary has renewed her defence of the decision not to waive security checks of people fleeing Ukraine, saying the UK has to “remain watchful.”

The UK on Friday opened its “Homes for Ukraine” scheme, allowing willing applicants to sponsor people fleeing the war in Ukraine and provide them with a home.
