Rejected petition Allow Ukrainian citizens to seek asylum in the UK

Rejected on 28 February 2022

Visa applications from Ukraine for people who are not related to British nationals are currently suspended, meaning there is no legal route for them to enter the UK and claim asylum.

Please open legal routes for them to seek asylum.

We owe the possibility of a safe and legal passage to this country for Ukrainian citizens.
