Former Home Secretary Amber Rudd says the Home Office and the Home Secretary Priti Patel need a whole new approach to deal with refugees of the Ukrainian conflict.

Speaking to 麻豆社 Radio 4 Woman鈥檚 Hour presenter Emma Barnett on International Women鈥檚 Day, she said: "Women and children [are] being targeted. This is not business as usual. We need a new scheme."

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has told the 麻豆社 the government could and would do more to support refugees, and his department would help the Home Office accelerate the system.

The UK has granted visas to 300 Ukrainian refugees under its new scheme so far, the Home Office said.
