Rejected petition Welcome and support refugees fleeing the Ukrainian conflict

Up to 5 million Ukrainians may be displaced following the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces.

The UK has provided no legal route for these people to enter the UK and claim asylum.

More details

A generation ago, the UK saved the lives of thousands of families from the Balkans through an evacuation and resettlement programme.

The government should now respond with a well-resourced initiative working with councils across the country, to welcome Ukrainians who need sanctuary.
