Apply more severe sanctions against Russia

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

The current sanctions placed on Russia are not enough, we need to apply further more severe sanctions onto Russia and stripping assets from Russian oligarchs, for example Chelsea FC from Russian oligarchs.

We as the United Kingdom need to do more against Russia to help maintain the sovereignty of Ukraine and to restore peace to Europe.
