Increasing humanitarian aid to Ukrainian refugees and open visa applications.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Re-open visa applications to those fleeing the conflict and increase aid to the families who have been left homeless and displaced by the invasion
This shows the citizens of Ukraine that they are not forgotten by the British public, and that between the trade war and actual invasion we are willing to support those who are paying the highest price standing for freedom and trying to offer better future for their children. Military aid and sanctions is not enough, although has made a difference. The families of Ukraine are carrying the spirit of defiance against aggression and it is those who need our help if they are to win an build a better future!
