What the petition asks

The UK is the only European country still imposing visa requirements on Ukrainians escaping the conflict.

Without a visa there is no safe and legal route for Ukrainians fleeing the conflict to travel to the UK and claim asylum.

Follow all other European countries and temporarily waive visa requirements.
