Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has had with her international counterparts on supporting foreign nationals to leave Ukraine, including individuals from (a) India, (b) Nigeria, and (c) Ghana.

We are in regular dialogue with our international partners and stand ready to provide humanitarian assistance as needed. As of 2 March, over 1 million people are reported by the UN to have left Ukraine [link https://data2.unhcr.org/en/situations/ukraine]. These numbers will continue to rise while Russia continues this reprehensible and needless attack. The UK government has pledged £220 million of aid, which includes £120 million of humanitarian assistance. Our humanitarian support will help partners stand up their response to the deteriorating humanitarian situation. We have also deployed UK humanitarian experts to support Ukraine's neighbours, who are receiving and supporting the increasing flow of refugees fleeing Ukraine.
