Remove the ban for Ukrainian people trying to apply for asylum in UK

What the petition asks
The UK government needs to show more humanitarian assistance and show that it is compassionate and allow Ukrainian asylum seekers
There will be many thousands of innocent people including children that will be displaced, hungry, and unsafe. They will be fearing for their lives and we can't expect all of our allies in Europe and NATO take on all of these people.
