Rejected petition Provide visas for Ukrainian citizens fleeing ongoing conflict

We are deeply shocked and saddened at the news that visa applications for Ukrainian citizens are now being rejected. We ask that visas for any and all Ukrainian citizens be processed without delay, enabling those who can flee the ongoing conflict.

More details

We have a moral duty to do what is right, humane, and to safeguard the lives of our fellow Europeans. The Government of the UK is charged with enacting this humanitarian responsibility on behalf of the people.

We urge you in the strongest terms to offer a legal and safe way for Ukrainians facing the worst European crisis in our lifetime to find sanctuary in our country. We stand behind the innocent people of Ukraine and demand an empathetic and humanitarian response.
