Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to support the telecommunications sector in Ukraine.

The FCDO is providing short and long-term support to help Ukraine defend itself, secure its free and democratic future, and deter future Russian aggression. Sustaining telecommunication connectivity, especially through space capabilities, is critical to delivering a coordinated response and supporting humanitarian efforts. The UK has supported and will continue to support Ukraine to maintain and rebuild their telecommunications network. The Ukraine Recovery Conference mobilised partners across the international community and the private sector in support of Ukraine, and Ukrainian telecommunication companies attended.
