I think you're right. Looking at the Home Office website it appears that they have clarified the wording compared to what was quoted in the Independent article.

I think you're right. Looking at the Home Office website it appears that they have clarified the wording compared to what was quoted in the Independent article. The quoted text in the article was: > "Ukrainian nationals in Ukraine (who aren’t immediate family members of British nationals normally living in Ukraine, or where the British national is living in the UK), are currently unable to make visa applications to visit, work, study or join family in the UK.” The Home Office site[0] now says: > "Ukrainian nationals in Ukraine (who aren’t immediate family members of British nationals normally living in Ukraine, or where the British national is living in the UK), are currently unable to make visa applications to visit, work, study or join family in the UK through a VAC in Ukraine. If you are able to safely travel, you can apply through a VAC in one of the nearby countries." Which of course is in line with the reality of the consulate being closed in Kyiv.
