Apart from that there is no legal obligation on refugees to stop in the first safe country,

Yeah, and that’s my point. That whole law is stupid and needs to be repealed.

this also would mean we should not have accepted any Ukrainian refugees,

We accepted them via a resettlement scheme. If there wasn’t a resettlement scheme, then they shouldn’t have come here.

Resettlement schemes exist generally to fulfill responsibilities (such as with Hong Kong) or to take a load off of our neighbours (such as Ukraine, or ones that happened with Syrians ages ago in the EU days)
