We want the Government to confiscate all property owned by Russian Oligarchs.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to confiscate all property owned by Russian Oligarchs in London and elsewhere including the gated luxury housing estate in Surrey dubbed “Britain’s Beverly Hills” and make these homes available to house Ukrainian refugees. The properties are to be made good if necessary.
If these Russian Oligarchs are shown to be friends of President Putin and have built their wealth on the back of this and they are deemed by the UK Government to be on the sanctions list of Russian Oligarchs then they should consider this payback from the people.

These properties are not to be deemed for General Use, sold off to fill the Government coffers or turned into Government Offices or Residences or to house anyone other than, genuine Ukrainian refugees & their families that have fled.
