The timing and specifics of Ukrainian membership to NATO is where there's "strong differentiation" between members, according to one expert. There's also £500m for councils in England to obtain housing for those fleeing conflicts in places such as Ukraine and Afghanistan.Īgain, the department hasn't clarified where exactly this money has come from but, as some of it is for councils to use for people other than Ukrainians, it seems likely it's from the departmental budget. This is looked after by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, which has also allocated £150m for councils to support Ukrainians and others at risk of homelessness. Then there is the Homes for Ukraine scheme, with £1.1bn given since its launch to councils help accommodate refugees. We asked the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office where this funding came from, but haven't had a reply.īut it seems likely that at least part of it would come from the central aid budget. On top of this, £1.5bn has been provided through aid, humanitarian support and economic and fiscal support - for example, loan guarantees for financial institutions.

That word "reprioritisation" means that some of this money was potentially taken away from other departments, but the MoD insists there was no cost to defence. The Ministry of Defence says this £4.6bn didn't come from its departmental budget but was extra money provided by the Treasury from central contingency funds and reprioritisation across government. Military support takes up most of this, with £2.3bn spent between April last year and April this year and another £2.3bn committed for the year to April 2024.
Political correspondent Rob Powell had this to say.Ĭoming up with an exact figure for support given to Ukraine is tricky, but it appears to be around £6.5bn since February last year - or potentially slightly higher when UK-based support is added in. The latest comes from Eleanor, who asks if it is possible to put a figure on how much the UK has spent supporting Ukraine in this war - and do we know what budgets this has come from? We have been putting your questions on the war to our experts and senior correspondents.
