Additional funding will strengthen London's ongoing support for Kyiv, as well as the work of the Red Cross Movement and the Ukrainian Humanitarian Fund.
Britain will provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine
Great Britain will allocate 8.5 million pounds (10.78 million dollars) to Ukraine for humanitarian aid.
This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Great Britain .
It is noted that in 2024, more than 14.6 million people - about 40% of the population of Ukraine - will need humanitarian assistance. Millions are currently homeless, without adequate access to water, food and electricity.
More than £6m ($7.61m) will go towards supporting the neutral and impartial work of the Red Cross, strengthening existing emergency response projects and supporting the most vulnerable in Ukraine.
Another 2.5 million pounds ($3.17 million) will go to finance the Ukrainian Humanitarian Fund, which is part of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Ukrainians are bravely defending their land against Russia's brutal invasion, but the past two years of war have had a tragic impact on millions of people across Ukraine. Families were separated, towns and villages destroyed, and vital civilian infrastructure destroyed. Great Britain supports Ukraine and seeks to support the most vulnerable Ukrainians who are experiencing the horrors of this war.

Aid to Ukraine from Britain
In January 2024, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the allocation of the largest aid package to Ukraine since the beginning of the war.
And recently, British Foreign Minister David Cameron said that the economy of the Russian Federation is 25 times weaker than the economy of Ukraine and its allies. It is necessary to make this difference more tangible.
Yesterday, February 23, Britain announced a package of ammunition for Ukraine worth 310 million dollars.
