The Leader podcast: Families open homes to beat Ukraine refugee traffickers

More than 1.7 people have been displaced from their homes in Ukraine since Russia invaded - that’s the equivalent of emptying London’s five biggest boroughs.

We’re joined by Dr Agnieszka Kubal, a sociology lecturer and a migration law expert at UCL’s School of Slavonic and East European Studies, whose mother is also among Polish households opening their family homes to help refugees.

Dr Kubal examines UK government strategy to cope with the growing humanitarianism crisis, and whether enough is being done to stop the most vulnerable refugees from falling prey to people traffickers.
