Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine is a clear violation of international law, and the UK condemns in the strongest terms Russia’s aggression and the immense human and economic damage it continues to cause. The UK’s support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity is unwavering, and we remain determined that Russia must be held to account and made to pay for the harm it has inflicted. The Government reaffirms our commitment to coordinate with the EU and its Member States to provide aid and assistance to Ukraine, including in Ukraine obtaining compensation from Russia consistent with international law. We remain committed to accountability and the principle that Russia should pay for the damage it has caused. This includes cases through the Claims Commission for Ukraine established under the auspices of the Council of Europe, of which the UK is a signatory. We are already leveraging immobilised Russian assets to support Ukraine’s needs now. In 2024, the G7 agreed to deliver the Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) Loans to Ukraine, making available around $50bn in financing that will be repaid using the extraordinary profits generated by Russian sovereign assets held in the EU. The UK has now delivered the majority of its £2.26 billion commitment. We have always been clear that we would move in parallel with international partners on using Russian Sovereign Assets (RSAs). We recognise the EU’s decision not to pursue its proposed ‘reparations loan’ to Ukraine at this point. The EU has since taken the decision to indefinitely immobilise RSAs in their jurisdiction and have reserved the right to make use of the associated cash balances to finance its new €90bn Ukraine Support loan. We will continue to work closely with the G7 and EU to ensure Ukraine gets the support it needs and to make sure Russia will ultimately pay for the damage it has caused. The UK also continues to demonstrate leadership through frameworks such as the Joint Expeditionary Force, which has played a valuable role in strengthening collective security and supporting Ukraine in close coordination with partners. The UK’s support for Ukraine remains ironclad and is committed to providing $7bn in military and fiscal assistance in 2026.
