Answer
My Department appreciates the unique circumstances that Ukrainians who have come to the UK find themselves in and continues to explore options to support the Ukrainian community residing in the UK. Earlier this month, we launched a consultation proposing to extend the period Ukrainians may use their driving licenses in the UK for up to 36 months, matching the initial length of the Ukraine visa schemes. The consultation closes on the 2nd of May and can be found on GOV.UK.
