Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps her Department is taking with international counterparts to open safe humanitarian corridors from Zaporizhia Oblast and southern Ukraine to (a) Moldova, (b) Romania and (c) Bulgaria.

As the Foreign Secretary made clear in the house on 28 February, we have called on Russia to enable humanitarian access and safe passage for civilians to flee the violence. We have worked tirelessly with partners to ensure the demand for Russia to comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law is clear. We have committed to £120 million in humanitarian support to Ukraine both for support inside the country and to those who have crossed its borders.
