Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking with his international counterparts to help supply Kyiv with water after recent Russian missile strikes on that city.

The UK has committed £220 million in humanitarian assistance to support the most vulnerable in Ukraine and the region following the Russian invasion. This includes a contribution to the Disasters Emergency Committee which has helped 1.7 million people in Ukraine to benefit from the supply of clean water. We have also provided £15 million to UNICEF, who are improving access to safe water for 3.5 million people by delivering water treatment chemicals and equipment in Ukraine. These organisations are working swiftly to respond to the recent Russian attacks on critical national infrastructure, including by repairing water treatment plants. The UK has, and will continue to, call out such attacks.
