What the petition asks
No Russian musician, actor, athlete, model or entertainer should be allowed to perform or enter international competitions.
The consequences of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine should impact every Russian with influence. The people of Russia need to be given a reason to rise up against the tyrannous leadership of their country. Life should not be normal for any privileged Russian until Russian forces leave Ukrainian soil.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about the participation of Russians in sporting, arts and cultural events are a matter for their organisers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
