Speaking at the NATO Foreign Minister's Meeting in Brussels today
(Wednesday 3 December), the Foreign Secretary pledged £10million
to the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund.
The Foreign Secretary said:
NATO is at the heart of UK's security and that this why I am here
today. Our partnerships abroad make us stronger at home. We are
here to affirm our strong support for Ukraine and for a just and
lasting peace for Ukraine with security for Europe and NATO.
We have seen the US and President Trump pursue a just and lasting
peace for Ukraine and for Ukraine to show their willingness for a
ceasefire. We have seen Putin try to escalate war and we have
seen the continued strikes that have led to power cuts in
Ukraine.
That is why I am announcing the UK's additional 10 million pounds
to support for energy infrastructure repairs in Ukraine. We will
continue to work to switch the lights on, to work for sovereignty
of the Ukrainian people with the security of Europe and NATO at
its heart.
This makes Britain the largest funder this year, helping to keep
the lights and heating on for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian
people. The funding will be used to help repair the
Ukrainian heating and water systems which have sustained critical
damage from Russian bombardment and help the people of Ukraine
get through the winter.
The UK has committed £21.8bn for Ukraine since the start of the
full-scale invasion. This latest package of aid is part of the
£100m humanitarian commitment the Foreign Secretary announced in
Kyiv in September 2025. We will continue our support for Ukraine
and ensure they have the miliary equipment they need to defend
themselves, whilst sustaining economic pressure on Putin to bear
down on revenues funding the war.
