Scrap visa requirements for Ukrainian refugees

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Many countries have waived the requirement for Ukrainian citizens to have visas before entering. As things currently stand, Ukrainian nationals need a visa before boarding a plane to the UK. The government must remove this requirement, so that Ukrainian citizens can come and live safely.
