Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he plans to take with his (a) US and (b) EU counterparts to provide additional support to Ukraine.

We are in constant contact with our US and European partners to ensure that Ukraine has the support it needs. The Foreign Secretary led a senior UK delegation at the Munich Security Conference focussed on bolstering joint efforts to address the challenges of Russia's illegal war in Ukraine. On 17 February the Prime Minister travelled to Paris to meet with President Macron and other European leaders to review the situation in Ukraine and security issues in Europe. We are also working with G7 partners, including the US and EU, to implement the $50 billion Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration Loan by advancing the extraordinary profits generated by immobilized Russian Assets. We are working with Europe, stepping up our collective defence spending and support to Ukraine. Europe now provides 60 percent of all aid to Ukraine, and over half of all military aid. The UK will spend £4.5 billion on lethal aid for Ukraine this year - more than ever before, and we will set out a pathway to increase Defence spending to 2.5 percent in the spring.
