Shouldn't this be open to all refugees?

Well, maybe that will be the case in time?

It is a positive development nonetheless.

Surely it should be free chess training from Ukrainian refugees?

From this information, it seems that the training will be in the Ukrainian language, because the trainers are supposed to be Ukrainians. And it is mostly for kids. So hard to open it to all refugees.

It is rather unclear to me why London organizes trainings for Ukrainians in Hull ? There is well know strong chess club in Hull, in which there are Ukrainian players and even strong Ukrainian players of 2000+.
