The official source of UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) data is Statistics on International Development (SID) which is published on a calendar year basis. 2021 is the latest year for which data is available.

The volume of UK bilateral ODA disbursed for the benefit of European countries is available in Table A4d of SID: Final UK Aid Spend 2021: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1119396/Table-A4d.ods

Please note that this includes only bilateral ODA given specifically for the benefit of individual countries. The UK also spends ODA in the form of core contributions to multilateral organisations and bilaterally to programmes which benefit multiple countries/regions, which may also benefit European countries.
