What the petition asks
Considering the invasion of Ukraine by Russia I ask you to take futher meassures and cut Russia off Swift payment system
Because I believe this will have a great impact on russian economy and will help to fight off russian agression
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
Because the SWIFT financial system is an international system, the UK Government cannot unilaterally exclude Russia from this, but the Government has said that it is working with allies to exclude Russian banks from the SWIFT financial system: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-statement-on-further-economic-sanctions-targeted-at-the-central-bank-of-the-russian-federation
