Waive visa requirements for all Ukrainian citizens who travel to UK fleeing war

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow all Ukrainian citizens fleeing their country following the Russian invasion to enter the UK without any visa requirements.
The UK has an ethical and moral duty to support Ukrainians fleeing war. Current visa concessions, extending only to the Ukrainian nationals already in the UK, are not enough. The UK must join other countries that have waived their visa requirements (Ireland, Poland, and Romania at the time of posting this petition).
