Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is planning to take to help support Ukraine in rebuilding its infrastructure.
The UK supports Ukraine's vision for rebuilding a sovereign, prosperous, democratic nation that is stronger than before Putin's invasion. We are hosting the 2023 Ukraine Recovery Conference in London on 21-22 June to bring together the international community to support Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction.
UK Export Finance is supporting the Government of Ukraine with the rebuilding of six bridges. The UK has provided £22 million in direct support to Ukraine's energy sector, including £10 million to help repair Ukraine's energy infrastructure. We have also provided a £47.5 million guarantee for an European Bank for Reconstruction and Development loan to Ukrenergo, Ukraine's state-owned energy provider, to help ensure the continued provision of electricity to its citizens.
