Commending Aberdeenshire on Welcoming Ukrainian Refugees

Lodged by Alexander Burnett (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 27 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Aberdeenshire on its reported recognition as the top place in the UK for welcoming Ukrainian refugees; understands that more than 1,000 families from the area have signed up to the Homes for Ukraine scheme, a figure that is expected to rise; acknowledges that the horrific situation in Ukraine has forced hundreds of thousands of innocent people to flee their homes, leaving everything they know and love behind; commends the north-east for playing a large part in helping refugees during this time of crisis, and thanks everyone who is taking part in the scheme across the country for their generosity and support for those in Ukraine.
