Open up immigration channels for Ukrainian refugees

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to allow access to an easier process for Ukrainian refugees to enter the UK in the aftermath of the Russian invasion, so that we contribute to the ability of our European friends and allies to take in, shelter and provide aid for displaced Ukrainians.
We have a moral obligation to act to assist those who are displace by Russian aggression in the face of our overtures to Ukraine.
