What the petition asks
The Russian Embassy in the UK resides at 6/7 Kensington Palace Gardens. The intent of this request is for the government to consider changing the address of the Russian Embassy in the UK to 6/7 Gardens of the Heroes of Ukraine, requiring the Russians to acknowledge Ukrainian heroes in perpetuity.
Changing the address of the Russian Embassy to the UK will send a clear message of support for the people of Ukraine in their struggle against Russian aggression. It follows the changing of addresses for Russian diplomatic properties in other European capitals in solidarity of feeling and intent.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions about local road names are a matter for the relevant local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.
