British Transport Minister Grant Shapps said yesterday that he had made preparations to receive a family of Ukrainian refugees that she contacted on Facebook, and it consists of a six-year-old child, a mother and grandmother, in addition to Max, the family dog.
Shapps was one of more than 100,000 Britons who took part in a government program to house British families fleeing the military operation in Ukraine, providing them with shelter for at least six months.
The program was announced this month, after campaigners and opposition MPs harshly criticized the government’s approach to allowing refugees into Britain.
