Grant automatic visa extension and ILR for Ukrainians after 5 years

In March 2022, many Ukrainians were offered 3-year visas, due to expire in March 2025. We're concerned that applications for extension can only be made when a visa has 28 days or less until expiry. Early applications risk rejection. It's been reported that processing the extension can take 8 weeks. We think it creates uncertainty. There is no clarity on options after the 18 months. The years many Ukrainians have spent here should count towards Indefinite Leave to Remain after 5 years, as it does for any other humanitarian route.
