Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what support the Government is providing to help (a) Black and Asian and (b) other British nationals to leave Ukraine.

The British Embassy office in Kyiv has temporarily relocated to Lviv. In-person consular services in Lviv are extremely limited and may be further affected by Russian military action. FCDO Rapid Deployment Teams have been deployed to neighbouring countries to support British nationals in need of consular assistance and the UK is committed to the principle of non-discrimination on any grounds, including on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or race. A full range of assistance is available in these countries.

British nationals still in Ukraine should register their presence with the FCDO and follow FCDO Travel Advice. Any British nationals who require consular assistance in Ukraine should call our 24 hour helpline: +44 (0) 1908 516666 or +380 44 490 3660.
