Ration our gas NOW, save Ukrainian lives

What the petition asks

Expand sanctions to cover the one thing we buy that will actually stop Putin’s war: Gas

Every day that British parliament fails to discuss the only true weapon we can leverage against Putin - to stop buying his gas - we have the blood of Ukrainian children on our hands.

The EU, US and Britain buy $700m of gas from Putin everyday. His plans hinge on the assumption that we are all too comfy in our middle class existence to suffer cold showers, to wear more clothes.

Why is this obvious option not being put to the British people? why is it off the table in Brussels at the EU? Shame on your political survivalism.

Parliament gives grand gestures to ambassadors, whilst children die under the unprotected skies of Ukraine. Where are the statesmen in today’s politics?
