Almost 150 Ukrainian refugees are still living in Worcester
Almost 150 Ukrainian refugees are still living in Worcester, two years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
A further 90 are registered to arrive in the city in November but only 55 have visas issued at the moment, a report going before the city council’s Communities committee shows.
As of February 2, 118 Ukrainian people have left Worcester having stayed here for a while.
Of those, 47 moved to larger cities in the UK, 64 returned to Ukraine and seven moved to other countries.
A total of 67 people from 47 groups are being hosted by sponsor households across Worcester.
