Charity says it has heard from nearly 200 Ukrainians who are separated from family members and trying to bring them to the UK .

Halyna Khovaiko left her son, now 14 , with his grandparents in Vovchansk in February 2022 .

She says knowing her son is in danger is almost unbearable.

Charity is calling on the new government to reverse the changes brought in by its predecessors.

Work Rights Centre says many Ukrainians in the UK are now struggling to find British sponsors for visa applications.

Less people willing to host Ukrainians than when the war broke out, charity says.

However, there is still substantial demand as it is common for one parent to come to the UK first to find a job and house before bringing over the rest of their family.
