What the petition asks
Open our borders to Ukrainians feeling the Russian invasion regardless to whether or not they have family here in the U.K. We have a moral obligation to help those fleeing the war. Many of our neighbours have waived visa requirements in the face of the unfolding crisis. We should do the same.
