Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the government of Ukraine regarding the damaged infrastructure in that country; and what plans they have, if any, to provide financial assistance to help with the rebuilding of that infrastructure.

The UK and Ukrainian Governments have regular discussions on the UK's support to Ukraine, including on damaged infrastructure. Such discussions have informed the UK's plan to support Ukraine's reconstruction. This was presented at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Lugano on 4 July. It includes support to address the Government of Ukraine's financial gap to ensure it can pay wages and restore critical infrastructure. Additionally, in response to President Zelenskyy's request of the Prime Minister, the UK will champion the recovery of Kyiv region. Alongside this, the UK-led £37m Partnership Fund for a Resilient Ukraine has already begun identifying priority repair works.

We are a leading donor in response to the crisis, committing economic, humanitarian and military support totalling approximately £3.8bn. This includes £10m to the Energy Support Fund for repairs to energy infrastructure, and £10m for equipment to facilitate the movement of grain by Ukrainian railways to neighbouring countries.
