How much has the UK spent on military defence, humanitarian aid and homes for Ukraine since the war began? factcheck takes a look 👇
Tomorrow marks one year since Russia launched its full-scale attack on Ukraine, with thousands of Ukrainians killed defending their freedom and millions of people forced to flee their homes.
Two Sea King Helicopters have also been given to Ukraine in order to provide search and rescue capabilities, with the Royal Navy providing a six-week programme training in the UK for 10 crews of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and associated engineers.Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now vying for fighter jets from the UK and other allied countries.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said Mr Sunak has asked Defence Secretary Ben Wallace to look into potential options regarding jets but no further details, such as potential spending costs, have been confirmed. For every £1 donated to a UK Aid Match charity appeal, which is funded from the international development budget, the government will also contribute £1 of UK aid – in this case £25m for the DEC Ukraine appeal.
It also included £150 million of new UK-wide funding in the 2023/24 financial year to local authorities and devolved governments to help support Ukrainian guests move into their own homes. Through the Homes for Ukraine Scheme, Ukrainians receive three years leave to remain in the UK from when their visas are granted. The DLHC said it will “keep this under review should an extension be required in the future”.In coordination with G7 allies, the UK has also levied sanctions against Russia, which Rishi Sunak has suggested could be used to fund further support for Ukraine.
