Hundreds of people across Norfolk and Suffolk have opened up their homes to people fleeing the conflict
Around 220 refugees have so far been granted permission to come Norfolk and Suffolk under the Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship scheme.
The data has been published by the Home Office and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities.
The scheme allows Ukrainian nationals and their family members to come to the UK if they have a named sponsor.
As of April 5, its estimated 4.3 million people have left Ukraine, fleeing the Russian invasion. A small number have been granted permission to come to the UK
Visas have been issued to local authorities based on the postcode of the sponsor's address, or of the accommodation address if the applicant is not staying with the sponsor.
