Ukrainians with family links to the Isle of Man can now apply for a free visa to the island.

The move was announced yesterday and means Ukrainians fleeing Russia's invasion can come to the island if they have relatives here.

The Manx government said the island is fully aligned with the UK immigration policy as a direct result of the situation in Ukraine.

Chief Minister, Alfred Cannan said: "I want to make it clear that the Isle of Man government stands unreservedly in support of our friends in Ukraine.

"Their courage and resolve in the face of the advancing Russian forces has been remarkable".
