The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will make an estimate of the cost of (a) military and (b) humanitarian aid for Ukraine in 2025 for each taxpayer.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine poses a serious threat to UK prosperity and security. We are proud to provide vital support to Ukraine. The UK will deliver £3 billion of military aid to Ukraine this year - our largest ever package - and every year until the end of the decade, or as long as it takes. The UK is also speeding up vital military support. The UK will provide £2.26 billion in additional support to Ukraine as part of the G7 loan scheme to be repaid from the windfall profits on immobilised Russian sovereign assets.

We are also providing at least £120 million in humanitarian assistance through to the end of financial year 2024 to 2025. The UK's military and humanitarian support to Ukraine is delivered through a coordinated system to provide the most value for both the Ukrainian people and the British taxpayer.
