Rejected petition Restart the processing of visas for Ukrainian refugees

In line with other countries, restart the processing of emergency visas for Ukrainian citizens fleeing the war in Ukraine, regardless of whether they have a U.K-based relative.

More details

To deny refugees fleeing the first European war in decades, when almost every other European country is offering safe passage is downright callous. There is currently no safe, legal route for a Ukrainian without any U.K. based relatives to enter the U.K. as the home office has stopped processing their visa applications.

This is not the action of a country that prides itself on doing the right thing. We the undersigned demand that the government correct this immediately.
