Russia has invaded Ukraine and the current set of sanctions do not go far enough in order for Russia to change its objectives. This petition shows support in the UK public for increasing pressure on Russia, which may increase costs at home, I'm order to show solidarity with Ukrainian citizens who are losing their lives and assets as a result of an invasion. The least we can do is pay a few extra pounds at the petrol station.
