More than 100,000 people have arrived in the UK under visa programmes designed to help Ukrainian refugees, according to government figures published on Thursday.

The government thanked the British public for their generosity and goodwill. It also said it will start processing on Thursday visa applications from unaccompanied children, as long as they have parental consent.
