Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has held with his Ukrainian counterparts on potential foreign interference in that country's forthcoming presidential election.

The UK remains concerned over persistent attempts by Russia to undermine political stability in Ukraine, including through disinformation campaigns and cyber-attacks. The Foreign Secretary and I continue to discuss these issues with international partners, including our Ukrainian counterparts. UK officials also continue to work closely with the Ukrainian Government to help strengthen Ukraine's resilience against Russia's actions. We are providing substantial assistance to strengthen Ukraine's democracy and institutions, including countering potential outside interference in the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections.
