In response to the Ukraine crisis, take away empty Russian houses in the UK.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Please discuss removing empty Russian homes in the uk. It adds to the housing crisis, is a literal waste of space and leaves an income not necessarily affected by the sanctions imposed by the UK.
