The UK has pledged £394 million of aid in response to the conflict in Ukraine, including £220 million of humanitarian assistance. This is delivered through humanitarian partners such as UNHCR, who are committed to providing aid in line with fundamental humanitarian principles, based solely on need and with no discrimination according to race (or other characteristic). A key part of the UK's humanitarian strategy in Ukraine is also to support humanitarian partners who record data and develop consolidated assessments of humanitarian needs, enabling us to ensure that our aid is delivered on an equitable basis.
