Allow the people of ukraine easy access to the UK for saftey.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK government need to make it legal and easy for Ukrainian people and their pets fleeing from the war to find saftey in our country. They also need access to shelter, water and food during these times.
Boris Johnson stated that the people of Ukraine were innocent and our friends, he also said we will not just allow this to happen to them, if that is the case why is there no easy route for Ukrainians to find saftey in our country? We can't just show disapproval towards Putin, we must also show our solidarity with Ukrainians and send a message of unity against this war.
