English: Thank you, Minister. I welcome your statement today. My constituent, Amy, has recently shared a video of the arrival of her Ukrainian guests at Bristol Airport, which has actually now had over 3.2 million views on social media, and she did this to show the people of Ukraine and people across the world that Wales truly is a nation of sanctuary. It's very sad, actually, that Amy's guest was meant to travel with her friend and their eight-year-old son, and decided not to come because they were actually worried about the reception that they would get here, but that is why Amy has shared this video, and I am really proud of how far it has gone, and I think it has done a lot of good. Amy and other sponsors continue to go above and beyond to ensure that their guests arrive here safely. However, she and many others have shared with me their experience with the UK Government's sponsorship scheme. There is a misconception that the UK Government is linking sponsors with Ukraine nationals. This is not the case. People are relying on Facebook groups to do this. Ukrainian people are posting their personal information and circumstances, and then sponsors are replying in the comments offering their homes. Whilst there are many well-meaning people offering help, this unregulated and unmonitored process raises a number of potential safeguarding concerns for people fleeing Ukraine, as well as sponsors. I have heard a number of absolutely horrific, nightmare stories already. There is also a misconception that arrangements will be made for them to travel here. Again, this is not the case. My constituent called on friends living in Poland to drive to the Ukrainian border to collect a mother and child, then drive them to the airport so that they could get the flight to the UK. My constituent used her savings to pay for the cost of the flights to get them here because all of the free ones are now gone. There is also no tracking process to see if they arrive here. The Home Office approves the visa application and that is it. So, what if they arrived here and then went missing? Who would know? Who is checking?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Gweinidog. Rwy'n croesawu eich datganiad chi heddiw. Mae Amy, sy'n etholwraig i mi, wedi rhannu fideo yn ddiweddar o'i gwesteion hi o Wcráin yn cyrraedd Maes Awyr Bryste, sydd wedi cael ei wylio dros 3.2 miliwn o droeon ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol, ac fe wnaeth hi hyn i ddangos i bobl Wcráin a phobl ledled y byd fod Cymru yn wir genedl noddfa. Mae hi'n drist iawn, mewn gwirionedd, fod gwestai Amy i fod i deithio gyda'i ffrind a'i mab wyth oed, ond fe wnaethon nhw benderfynu peidio â dod am eu bod nhw, mewn gwirionedd, yn pryderu o ran y derbyniad y bydden nhw'n ei gael yma, ond dyna pam mae Amy wedi rhannu'r fideo hwn, ac rwy'n falch iawn o ba mor bell y mae hwnnw wedi treiddio, ac rwy'n credu ei fod wedi gwneud llawer o les. Mae Amy a noddwyr eraill yn parhau i fynd yr ail filltir i sicrhau bod eu gwesteion yn cyrraedd yma'n ddiogel. Serch hynny, mae hi a llawer un arall wedi rhannu eu profiad nhw gyda mi o gynllun nawdd Llywodraeth y DU. Fe geir camdybiaeth o ran bod Llywodraeth y DU yn cysylltu noddwyr â gwladolion o Wcráin. Nid yw hyn yn wir. Mae pobl yn dibynnu ar grwpiau Facebook i wneud hyn. Mae pobl o Wcráin yn rhoi hysbysiadau o'u gwybodaeth a'u hamgylchiadau personol nhw, ac yna mae noddwyr yn ymateb yn y sylwadau gan gynnig eu cartrefi. Er bod llawer o bobl sy'n llawn bwriadau da yn cynnig cymorth ni chaiff y broses ei rheoleiddio na'i monitro ac mae hynny'n codi nifer o bryderon posibl o ran diogelwch pobl sy'n ffoi o Wcráin, yn ogystal ag o ran diogelwch y noddwyr. Rwyf i wedi clywed nifer o straeon hollol erchyll, hunllefus yn barod. Mae camdybiaeth yn bod hefyd o ran y bydd trefniadau yn cael eu gwneud iddyn nhw deithio yma. Unwaith eto, nid yw hynny'n wir. Fe ofynnodd fy etholwr i ffrindiau sy'n byw yng Ngwlad Pwyl i yrru cerbyd at y ffin ag Wcráin ar gyfer cynnig cludiant i fam a'i phlentyn, a'u gyrru nhw i'r maes awyr wedyn er mwyn gallu mynd ar awyren i'r DU. Fe wariodd fy etholwraig i ei chynilion i dalu am gost y tocynnau iddyn nhw allu hedfan yma oherwydd mae'r rhai rhad ac am ddim wedi dod i ben erbyn hyn. Nid oes proses olrhain ychwaith i weld a ydyn nhw'n cyrraedd yma. Mae'r Swyddfa Gartref yn cymeradwyo'r cais am fisa a dyna i gyd. Felly, beth pe bydden nhw'n cyrraedd yma ac yn mynd ar goll wedyn? Pwy fyddai'n gwybod? Pwy sy'n gwirio?
