The UK government to accept and help Ukrainian Refugees

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to not only place sanctions on Russia but to also help Ukrainian refugees fleeing from the conflict, providing them with housing, support, resources and jobs.
Right now we should be doing what we can to help support those in need and fleeing this awful war.
At the end of the day it’s about being decent human beings, we’re the fifth largest economy in the world, and if the UK is going to place sanctions on Russia, it should also be helping the Ukrainian people too and those that are fleeing the conflict.
No body in the 21st century wants a war, but most of all the Ukrainian people don’t want a war, and if the government really wants to help, it can start by helping the people affected.
