Ukraine: Humanitarian Aid
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what budget his Department has allocated to the HAVEN programme for 2025-2026; and what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the budget for the rest of the Parliament.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
By the end of the last financial year, the UK had provided over £477 million in humanitarian support to Ukraine and the region since the start of the full-scale invasion. This support included funding for the Humanitarian Action through Volunteers, Enablers and Networks (HAVEN) vital work in frontline areas. During a visit to Lviv on 9 May, the Foreign Secretary announced almost £25 million of new humanitarian funding for Ukraine which includes an additional £10 million for the HAVEN consortium, enabling them to continue providing essential frontline assistance this financial year.
