This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition UK government to allow Ukrainian refugees a safe route to the UK for asylum.
Please reconsider the nationality and borders bill criminalising those trying to arrive in the UK illegally and for those who facilitate illegal entry into the country- penalising those seeking sanctuary. Please un-suspend applications from Ukraine for people who are not related to British nationals
More details
There is currently no legal route for Ukraine nationals without family in the UK to seek asylum. We need to do more to help the estimated 5 million displaced people reach safety.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
