Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what recent discussions he has had with his European counterparts on (a) diplomatic, (b) humanitarian and (c) military steps to support Ukraine.

The UK plays a leading role in driving international support for Ukraine. We are in constant contact with our European partners in order to: ensure Ukraine receives the diplomatic support it needs; strengthen Ukraine's military capabilities; address its humanitarian needs; support its economic resilience; and promote longer-term recovery and reconstruction. The Foreign Secretary set out the high level of UK ambition with European counterparts at a number of recent meetings, including with NATO Foreign Ministers and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Ministerial Council meetings in November. He has also had talks with the French President and several of his European counterparts, most recently with Italy's Foreign Minister on 8 January.
