The response to Ukraine is a priority for the FCDO and the international community. The UK has committed £394 million in aid to the current crisis in Ukraine the breakdown of which is in the Foreign Secretary's letter to the IDC [https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/9404/documents/161135/default]. This will come from the Official Development Assistance (ODA) budget this year and over the next three financial years. This year's contribution will all be met from contingency and emerging departmental underspends. The Department is currently finalising allocations for the next 3 financial years based on the Spending Review outcome and these will be published in due course.
