Rejected petition Lift all visa requirements for Ukranian nationals fleeing war
Rejected on
Remove all visa requirements for Ukranians fleeing the war, regardless of whether they have family in the UK or whether they are already on a point based system route for immigration. Set up refugee routes to help Ukranians reach the UK safely and legally.
In light of the human tragedy unfolding in Ukraine due to Russia’s unprovoked and illegal war of aggression, the least we can do to support the Ukranian people is to welcome them as refugees under protected status. We must stand for human rights and dignity.
