The UK is helping Ukraine secure support for its recovery and reconstruction needs. The Ukraine Recovery Conference on 21-22 June raised more than $60 billion in new support, including a further $3 billion in UK guarantees to World Bank lending and up to £240 million of UK bilateral assistance. We are working with partners to ensure that Russia pays for the consequences of its illegal war. We have sanctioned over 1,600 individuals and entities, freezing over £18 billion of assets in the UK. On 19 June we introduced legislation enabling sanctions on Russia to be maintained until Moscow pays compensation to Ukraine.
