Thank you for your statement, Minister. It's chilling to think that the people of Ukraine have by now been subjected to the terror and obscenity of war for such a long period, and that, of course, has huge consequences for those who have been forced to flee their country. Our thoughts must also be with those in Russia who are bravely protesting against Putin's mobilisation policies. The human cost of this illegal war for all involved is unacceptable, and I want to echo your thanks for the organisations, bodies and households that have helped welcome those seeking sanctuary to Wales.

You rightly referenced the threat of homelessness in your statement. Positive Action in Housing, the refugee homelessness charity, is among many organisations who are highlighting the continuing and intensifying risk to refugees from homelessness. The pressures of the cost-of-living crisis, combined with the absence of comprehensive assessments, matching hosts and refugees under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, mean that a number of hosting arrangements are ending abruptly. Twenty-five per cent of sponsors have said they only wanted to provide accommodation for six months, according to an Office for National Statistics survey of over 17,000 hosts. As we know, the current rental market is increasingly competitive and the cost of deposits is enormous, which means Ukranians who have found their hosting arrangements ending or breaking down will be unlikely to be able to enter the private market.

You say you're meeting regularly with Welsh local government leaders, so what are the local authorities telling you regarding this issue, Minister? Do you have any figures on the number of hosting arrangements that have broken down or ended in Wales, leaving refugees at risk of homelessness? I'm glad you've renewed your appeals to the UK Government for increased support, but could we potentially allow our local authorities to become guarantors for Ukrainians faced with having to enter the rental market, or are there any other similar solutions within our devolved competencies if Westminster continues not to act? As the Welsh Government isn't willing at the moment to institute a ban on evictions this winter, Minister, do you accept we could see refugees also finding themselves homeless when hosts find themselves turned out due to the cost-of-living crisis?

Given the intense economic pressures, I'm glad to hear the Welcome Ticket scheme that allows refugees to travel for free on buses in Wales is to be renewed, as it was originally, of course, coming to an end this week. It's a shame that companies such as First Cymru were not informed about this by the Welsh Government, as they've stated on Facebook today that the scheme is ending, and there are no updates as yet on their social media. You say eligibility criteria has been updated. So, could you tell us what those changes are? Minister, has all this been communicated to refugees and those that are hosting them? It could lead to embarrassment and difficulties in travelling to work or educational settings for many refugees if the companies and their drivers, and, indeed, the refugees themselves, are unclear on this issue. 

I'm also glad to hear you've raised the issue with the UK Government about the lack of support for students who have been forced to leave their country, but understandably want to complete their studies online with Ukrainian universities, especially, of course, given the terrible upheaval they've already faced. You'll remember, I hope, that I wrote to you on this very subject earlier this month, as a family in my region have sponsored a 19-year-old woman who is unable to access any financial support from the DWP or student finance as she is studying remotely for a degree in Kyiv university. While we're waiting for a response from the UK Government on that, and, indeed, while I await a response to my letter to you, what support can be offered to her?
