The US on Monday launched a website for Americans to file applications to sponsor Ukrainians seeking to temporarily flee to the US, APA reports quoting BBC.

The Department of Homeland Security last week announced the Uniting for Ukraine initiative, which allows Americans to financially sponsor Ukrainian refugees.

The website is only open to potential sponsors in the US. It includes links to forms that prove an individual's financial ability to be a sponsor.

The US has said that Ukrainians arriving will not go through the normal refugee process, but will instead be granted humanitarian parole that allows them to remain in the US for two years.
