Donate migrant boats to Ukraine - 284 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 438 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

It seems that it costs the British taxpayer to store these boats and engines in Dover and at other facilities. Confiscated from people smugglers, we believe they should be repurposed by donating to the Ukrainian Military for use in defence and rescue missions on Dnipro and other Ukrainian rivers.
