Potential use of the route is difficult to estimate. A broad estimate of potential sponsors can be made, taking Ukrainian nationals with settlement or holding status under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) and Ukrainians granted British citizenship as groups most likely to have familial links with Ukraine. Estimates are based on internal analysis. Data on these groups can be found in published statistics:
