Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what support his Department is providing to Ukraine in the context of Russia’s decision not to renew the agreement that allowed Ukraine to transport grain and fertiliser through the Black Sea.

The UK condemns in the strongest terms Russia's decision to withdraw from the Black Sea Grain Initiative and the Foreign Secretary has called on Russia to rejoin immediately. Along with G7 partners, we have supported increased exports of grain from Ukraine through European land routes. The UK provided £10 million to bolster the Ukrainian railway system and provide greater resilience to facilitate the exports of grain by land. The UK will continue to work with Ukraine, and other partners, on options for Ukraine to continue exporting grain.
