Rejected petition Remove Russian embassy staff and convert building to benefit Ukraine

Remove current Russian embassy (London) occupants and convert the building to benefit Ukraine, either as a) an upgraded embassy for Ukraine or b) a humanitarian centre for housing and providing support to Ukrainian refugees.

More details

Ukraine and its citizens deserve better support and Russia should be made an outcast in every other country.

Diplomatic channels have clearly closed and Russian has even imposed restrictions on UK politicians, yet we continue to pander to their politicians and oligarchs.
