Rejected petition Allow all refugees from the Ukranian Conflict into the UK
Make a clear statement and take timely action to accept any and all refugees from the conflict in Ukraine into the United Kingdom and to fund the processing and habitation of refugees with seized and sanctioned Russian assets.
More details
The UK government has allowed for the asylum of Ukrainian nationals with British relatives to take refugee in the UK. This is a start, but not nearly enough. A path to encourage all refugees fleeing the conflict in Ukraine to take refuge in the United Kingdom needs to be opened.
Furthermore, this petition calls for the use of assets seized in sanctions against the Russian aggressor to finance the support for these refugees, placing the financial burden on the aggressor where it rightly belongs.
