Rejected petition Prioritise Ukrainian refuges during the Ukraine / Russia war

The UK has pledged that they will help those individuals who already have a visa or their visa has just expired but they have not said that they will prioritise Ukrainian refuges who have no where to go.

More details

UK is able to bring people in, especially with so many flying back to EU post Brexit. There are tons of jobs to fill in pretty much every industry and as a nation we can accommodate the Ukrainian families who have escaped the war. The Ukrainian people are incredible and would be an asset to this country, prioritise the Ukrainian refuges!
