Rejected petition Grant Emergency VISAS for Ukrainians who are Family Members of UK Citizens
Rejected on
Ukraine refugees with close connections to UK citizens should be able to be granted access to safe refuge in the UK
Ukraine is under attack from Russia. Ukrainian women and children have had to cross their country border to seek refuge leaving 18 to 60 year old male family behind.
If those that manage to get out have close connections to UK citizens they should be able to seek refuge with those loved ones in the UK.
