Rejected petition Do not go to war with Russia over Ukraine
The Government is taking a needlessly aggressive stance towards Russia in the ever-escalating crisis over Ukraine. We believe this attitude towards Russia could eventually lead to a nuclear war which would kill everyone, and we do not want this to happen.
More details
Both Russia and the United Kingdom both possess large nuclear arsenals with the potential to wipe out all life on this planet many times over. We ask the Government to not go to war with Russia over Ukraine in order to preserve life on Earth as a conflict with Russia could be a nuclear war that leads to the deaths of everyone. The best way to avoid conflict with Russia would be to accept the Ukraine crisis is a matter between the governments of Ukraine and Russia, and no one else.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the prospect of war between the UK and Russia, but we're not sure if you want the Government to commit not to taking military action against Russia, or to also not take any other action in respect of the Ukraine crisis, such as imposing sanctions.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
