Home Office Migration Statistics do not capture the number of applications for Ukrainian refugees either granted, refused, or how many have entered the four nations of the UK. To capture these numbers and divide them into each day since the scheme was launched would require a manual trawl of data and to do so would incur disproportionate cost.

Information on the number of applications currently being processed under the newly launched Ukraine Family Scheme (UFS) can be found in our published data on the GOV.UK webpage: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ukraine-family-scheme-application-data
