Deny Russian-owned vessels (ships/tankers) access to all UK ports.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We have limited sanctions in place and stopped Russian owned aircraft from landing in the UK, yet Russian ships are still docking at UK ports - such as Sovcomflot at Flotta oil terminal this very week.
Sanctions must be applied and all Russian registered ships should be denied entry to UK ports.
The UK stance in support of Ukraine against Russian aggression must be decisive and complete.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
