we must seize Russian Oligarch Properties and use it to house Ukraine Refugees!

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The title says it all, seize all oligarch property in the UK and turn it into FREE housing for Ukrainian refugees. Or at the very least sell them and donate the proceeds towards Ukraine war charities
the Oligarchs have helped support putin and helped his rise to power and in doing so have helped cause the pain and suffering many of these Ukraine civilians. It’s only fair that the houses that the oligarchs have helped destroy be compensated to the Ukraine people through the seizure of the oligarchs houses.
