Grant Ukrainian citizens fleeing the war full rights to live and work in the UK

Closed 92 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should extend rights to reside in the UK, with rights to work and access public services, to any Ukrainian citizen fleeing the war.

The Government should also encourage other European countries to offer similar rights.
Fighting the Russians directly could start World War 3. However if the UK and other European countries give safe haven to those poor souls who are about to lose everything, we can show that Europe stands together, and we are not afraid of bullies, no matter how large their army or how horrific their weapons.
