Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how much the Government plans to provide to Ukraine through the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund under each category of expenditure.

The House will be informed of Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) allocations for 2015/16 in due course, via a Written Ministerial Statement.

This financial year, the CSSF’s precursor, the Conflict Pool, provided £9m in support to Ukraine on a range of programmes which included gifting non-lethal equipment to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, treating wounded Ukrainian servicemen, supporting the Organisation for Security and Co-oporation in Europe (OSCE) Special Monitoring Mission, building strategic communications capacity, as well as providing peace building activities.
