US President Joe Biden’s administration has announced a new programme that it says will make it easier for Ukrainian refugees to be resettled in the United States, as the Russian offensive in their home country continues.
In a statement on Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the “new streamlined process” will allow Ukrainians to apply for humanitarian parole, a status that does not provide a pathway to residency or citizenship, but allows people to stay and work in the US for two years.
