Lift the Visa requirements for Ukraine, so people can reunite or have refuge.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

The government needs to immediately lift all visa requirements for people and their pets coming from Ukraine, which is under attack from Russia. Ukrainians should be able to make their way and enter the UK, where many have families. The UK should support accommodation and food if needed.
The UK government is a part of NATO, but NATO will not do anything for a non-NATO member or against Russia's aggressor who has nuclear weapons. The sanctions make no difference.

The immediate need as Ukraine is left to fight alone is for the Ukrainian people to have safety. Many Ukrainians have family in the UK. The UK can and should support this crisis.

There are families, women and children currently stick trying to get to their families.
