A petition calling on the UK government to create a pathway to settlement for Ukrainians currently residing in the country is gathering momentum. As of today, the petition has garnered 19,853 signatures, significantly exceeding the 10,000-signature threshold required for an official government response.
The petition emphasizes the importance of providing stability to Ukrainian citizens who have become an integral part of British communities. The initiative’s authors stress that a defined path to settlement would allow Ukrainians to plan their future with more confidence and continue making significant contributions to British society.
“Ukrainians in the UK have become valuable members of our communities, and a pathway to settlement would affirm our commitment to supporting those impacted by conflict,” the petition states.
What’s Next?
- The government is due to provide an official response to the petition in the coming days
- If the number of signatures reaches 100,000, the petition will be considered for debate in Parliament
- Currently, approximately 80,000 more signatures are needed to reach this goal
For the Ukrainian community in Wales and across the United Kingdom, this is a crucial initiative that could significantly impact the future of thousands of people. Everyone can support the petition by adding their signature and sharing information about it with others.
