What the petition asks
The Government must publish a plan to ensure safe and legal passage to the UK for Ukrainian refugees without visa obstructions or requirements beyond the basics needed for security. Many thousands of Ukranians have been displaced by the brutal assault on their homes by Russia and they deserve help.
The UK has thankfully recongised its moral duty to support Ukraine as a fellow free democracy against its authoritarian aggresor. Yet our borders still remain largely closed to those have been victimised and terrorised by the attack. Britain's moral duty clearly extends to taking in refugees and asylum seekers. As such, the UK must waive visa requirements and create a special, simple legal route for Ukrainian refugees to find refuge in the UK.
