I agree with the overall sentiment, and from the off I've felt a bit uncomfortable about people shouting about how we need to take in Ukrainian refugees when we were so awful with the handling of Syrian refugees.
However, it is totally understandable that we relate more to the invasion of a European country with a similar cultural heritage.
Even more so when it borders a series of NATO countries - eg what happens if there is a skirmish on the Polish border?

It’s a bit typical of Tory governments to stem the tide of immigrants though.
The irony of Priti Patel’s family being allowed into the UK as a result of the actions of a madman in Uganda is quite something. She’s quite possibly the least compassionate tory politician I’ve come across in my lifetime.
This is the most depressing part, that people care more just because of its proximity to their last stag-do.
