English: Clearly, the horrific ongoing events in Ukraine, following Putin's illegal invasion, have a direct impact on the number of Ukrainians arriving in Wales, and will continue to do so in the future, with January's UK Government figures showing that 8,700 visas have been issued to those with a sponsor in Wales, and with 6,300 people with sponsors in Wales having arrived in Wales, of which almost half have the Welsh Government as a supersponsor. However, only last week, we saw media coverage of the mum and daughter who fled fighting in Ukraine, but now face homelessness as their Welsh sponsor pulls out, who now have until 20 February to find a new sponsor, but can't afford private rent and fear they could end up on the streets. It was also reported that many sponsors had not anticipated housing people from Ukraine for months and years with no end in sight, and are pulling out of the scheme, where currently any refugee asked to leave by their sponsor must present as homeless to their local authority. What specific and proactive action are you therefore taking to meet this need, Minister? Of course, this is separate to the Welsh Government's supersponsor scheme, which is acting as the host in place of a family or household sponsor, putting refugees directly into welcome centres like hotels. How is the Welsh Government, therefore, accommodating the greater numbers of people arriving under the supersponsor scheme than originally planned for, and addressing the impact this has on local services and communities? The Irish Government has announced that it will be delivering 700 modular homes for Ukrainian refugees this year, including 200 accommodating 800 Ukrainian guests to be built by Easter, as it scrambles to find housing. Given that Wales has a long-standing affordable-housing supply crisis, what work, if any, has the Welsh Government done on this option, both stand-alone and with the UK Government? During my visit to Mold job centre last summer, I was impressed by the work they're doing to support Ukrainian refugees, and was not surprised to learn that the refugees don't want to be dependent and are keen to work and contribute. What, if any, work is the Welsh Government, therefore, undertaking with the Department for Work and Pensions to ensure that Ukrainian guests can also access relevant devolved services via a single point of access, including the transferability of qualifications and English as a second language or ESOL courses, or Welsh if they live in the areas where that's the predominant language of use? The report on the north Wales Ukraine response, issued by charity Link International earlier this month, reflected on their journey together with the their Ukrainian guests over the previous 10 months. This includes reference to the various meetings they've taken part in with the Welsh Government and to the regular updates they've provided to the Welsh Government and local leaders about their work. This also refers, for example, to their having been made aware of various safeguarding issues that have caused concern, and to their work with the charity Haven of Light, highlighting the risks around exploitation, modern slavery and human trafficking. Minister, have you read and responded to this report, which you may or may not have received? And if not, will you do so now that I've made you aware of it? Responding to your statement on Ukraine here last month, I again referred to discussions you're having with the UK Government regarding a possible uplift to the monthly £350 payment to people hosting Ukrainians in their own homes. I therefore welcomed confirmation the following day that the UK Government had been actively working on this when a new support package for Ukrainians of over £650 million was announced, including an increase in payments to £500 month to Homes for Ukraine hosts. Your written statement a week later acknowledged this, but also called for clarity about funding tariffs for Homes for Ukraine visa holders, or alternative funds to continue to support people from Ukraine while they're in the UK. What further engagement are you therefore having with the UK about this? This month's briefing on its response to the invasion of Ukraine by the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales asked that Members continue to raise the Ukrainian humanitarian crisis in the Senedd, do not allow it to be forgotten, and support the Welsh and UK Governments to work towards an end to the conflict through peaceful means. How is the Welsh Government therefore engaging with faith groups regarding their response to the humanitarian, and potential global food crisis, caused by the invasion of Ukraine, as highlighted by the Catholic Bishops Conference for England and Wales? And, finally, just a comment, I look forward to seeing you at the Polish integration support centre on Friday, when their help for Ukrainian refugees can also be discussed. Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Mae'n amlwg bod y digwyddiadau erchyll parhaus yn Wcráin, yn dilyn goresgyniad anghyfreithlon Putin, yn cael effaith uniongyrchol ar nifer yr Wcreiniaid sy'n cyrraedd Cymru, a byddant yn parhau i wneud hynny yn y dyfodol, gyda ffigurau Llywodraeth y DU ym mis Ionawr yn dangos bod 8,700 o fisâu wedi'u rhoi i'r rheiny sydd â noddwyr yng Nghymru, a gyda 6,300 o bobl â noddwyr yng Nghymru wedi cyrraedd Cymru, y mae gan bron i hanner ohonyn nhw Lywodraeth Cymru yn uwch-noddwr. Fodd bynnag, dim ond yr wythnos diwethaf, gwelsom hanes yn y cyfryngau am y fam a'r ferch a wnaeth ffoi rhag yr ymladd yn Wcráin, ond sydd bellach yn wynebu digartrefedd gan i'w noddwr yng Nghymru dynnu'n ôl, a bellach mae ganddyn nhw tan 20 Chwefror i ddod o hyd i noddwr newydd, ond maen nhw'n methu fforddio rhent preifat ac yn ofni y gallen nhw ddiweddu'n byw ar y stryd. Adroddwyd hefyd nad oedd llawer o noddwyr wedi rhagweld y bydden nhw'n lletya pobl o Wcráin am fisoedd a blynyddoedd heb ddiwedd mewn golwg, ac felly'n gadael y cynllun, ac ar hyn o bryd mae'n rhaid i unrhyw ffoadur y gofynnir iddo adael gan eu noddwr gyflwyno ei hun fel rhywun digartref i'w awdurdod lleol. Pa gamau penodol a rhagweithiol ydych chi felly yn eu cymryd i ddiwallu'r angen hwn, Gweinidog? Wrth gwrs, mae hyn ar wahân i gynllun uwch-nodddwr Llywodraeth Cymru, sy'n gweithredu fel gwesteiwr yn lle noddwr teulu neu aelwyd, gan roi ffoaduriaid yn uniongyrchol mewn canolfannau croeso fel gwestai. Sut mae Llywodraeth Cymru, felly, yn lletya'r niferoedd mwy o bobl sy'n cyrraedd o dan y cynllun uwch-noddwr nag a gynlluniwyd yn wreiddiol, a mynd i'r afael â'r effaith y mae hyn yn ei chael ar wasanaethau a chymunedau lleol? Mae Llywodraeth Iwerddon wedi cyhoeddi y bydd yn darparu 700 o gartrefi modiwlar ar gyfer ffoaduriaid o Wcráin eleni, gan gynnwys 200 gyda lle i 800 o westeion Wcreinaidd i'w hadeiladu erbyn y Pasg, wrth iddi ymgiprys i ddod o hyd i dai. O ystyried bod gan Gymru argyfwng cyflenwad tai fforddiadwy hirsefydlog, pa waith, os o gwbl, y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i wneud ar yr opsiwn hwn, yn annibynnol a gyda Llywodraeth y DU? Yn ystod fy ymweliad â chanolfan gwaith y Wyddgrug yr haf diwethaf, roedd y gwaith maen nhw'n ei wneud i gefnogi ffoaduriaid Wcreinaidd wedi creu argraff arnaf, a doeddwn i ddim yn synnu o ddeall nad yw'r ffoaduriaid eisiau bod yn ddibynnol a'u bod yn awyddus i weithio a chyfrannu. Pa waith, os o gwbl, y mae Llywodraeth Cymru felly yn ei wneud gyda'r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau i sicrhau bod gwesteion Wcreinaidd hefyd yn gallu cael mynediad at wasanaethau datganoledig perthnasol drwy un pwynt mynediad, gan gynnwys trosglwyddo cymwysterau a chyrsiau Saesneg fel ail iaith neu ESOL, neu Gymraeg os ydyn nhw'n byw yn yr ardaloedd lle mae'r Gymraeg yn brif iaith? Roedd yr adroddiad ar ymateb Wcráin gogledd Cymru, a gyhoeddwyd gan elusen Link International yn gynharach yn y mis, yn myfyrio ar eu taith ynghyd â'u gwesteion Wcreinaidd dros y 10 mis blaenorol. Mae hyn yn cynnwys cyfeirio at y cyfarfodydd amrywiol y maen nhw wedi cymryd rhan ynddyn nhw gyda Llywodraeth Cymru ac at y diweddariadau rheolaidd y maen nhw wedi eu rhoi i Lywodraeth Cymru ac arweinwyr lleol ynghylch eu gwaith. Mae hyn hefyd yn cyfeirio, er enghraifft, at y ffaith eu bod wedi cael gwybod am wahanol faterion diogelu sydd wedi achosi pryder, ac at eu gwaith gyda'r elusen Haven of Light, yn tynnu sylw at y risgiau ynghylch camfanteisio, caethwasiaeth fodern a masnachu pobl. Gweinidog, ydych chi wedi darllen ac ymateb i'r adroddiad hwn, yr ydych wedi ei dderbyn neu beidio efallai? Ac os nad ydych, a fyddwch chi'n gwneud hynny, nawr fy mod i wedi eich gwneud chi'n ymwybodol ohono? Wrth ymateb i'ch datganiad am Wcráin yma fis diwethaf, cyfeiriais eto at drafodaethau yr ydych chi'n eu cael gyda Llywodraeth y DU ynghylch cynnydd posibl i'r taliad misol o £350 i bobl sy'n lletya Wcreiniaid yn eu cartrefi eu hunain. Felly, croesawais gadarnhad y diwrnod canlynol bod Llywodraeth y DU wedi bod wrthi'n gweithio ar hyn pan gyhoeddwyd pecyn cymorth newydd i Wcreiniaid o dros £650 miliwn, gan gynnwys cynnydd mewn taliadau i £500 mis i westeiwyr Cartrefi i Wcráin. Roedd eich datganiad ysgrifenedig wythnos yn ddiweddarach yn cydnabod hyn, ond galwodd hefyd am eglurder am dariffau ariannu ar gyfer deiliaid fisa Wcreinaidd, neu gronfeydd eraill i barhau i gefnogi pobl o Wcráin tra byddan nhw yn y DU. Pa ymgysylltu pellach ydych chi felly yn ei gael gyda'r DU ynghylch hyn? Gofynnodd cyfarfod briffio Cynhadledd Esgobion Catholig Cymru a Lloegr ar oresgyniad Wcráin, i Aelodau barhau i godi argyfwng dyngarol Wcráin yn y Senedd, peidiwch â chaniatáu iddo gael ei anghofio, a chefnogi Llywodraethau Cymru a'r DU i weithio tuag at ddiwedd i'r gwrthdaro trwy ddulliau heddychlon. Sut mae Llywodraeth Cymru felly yn ymgysylltu â grwpiau ffydd ynghylch eu hymateb i'r argyfwng dyngarol ac o bosibl argyfwng bwyd byd-eang, a achosir gan yr ymosodiad ar Wcráin, fel yr amlygwyd gan Gynhadledd Esgobion Catholig Cymru a Lloegr? Ac, yn olaf, dim ond sylw bach, edrychaf ymlaen at eich gweld yn y ganolfan gymorth integreiddio Pwylaidd ddydd Gwener, pan fydd modd trafod eu cymorth i ffoaduriaid Wcreinaidd hefyd. Diolch yn fawr.
