Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. We understand you're concerned about the treatment of non-white refugees from Ukraine in neighbouring European countries. However, the UK Government is not responsible for the treatment of refugees in those countries.
Petitions also need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
