The United Kingdom has announced a new package of support for Ukraine, including funding for emergency energy repairs, humanitarian aid, medical assistance and accountability efforts.
The package allocates £20 million ($27 million) in new funding for emergency energy support aimed at protecting and restoring Ukraine’s power grid, as well as increasing generation capacity.

The funding is intended to repair damage caused by Russia’s winter attacks and to strengthen Ukraine’s energy systems ahead of next winter. With this latest contribution, total UK support for Ukraine’s energy sector since the start of the war exceeds £490 million ($662 million).
“On this grim anniversary, our message to the Ukrainian people is simple: Britain is with you, stronger than ever. That is why we are announcing new support today and we will continue to support Ukraine for as long as it takes,” UK Prime Minister Reir Starmer announced.
An additional £5.7 million ($7.7 million) will be directed toward humanitarian assistance for frontline communities, including those requiring evacuation or affected by airstrikes and internal displacement. The United Nations and its partners are currently targeting 4.1 million people across Ukraine, focusing on those facing the most severe conditions. The UK was the largest donor to the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund in 2025.
The support package also includes continued medical mentoring. Teams of British military surgeons, nurses and physiotherapists are working alongside Ukrainian clinicians in Ukraine, assisting with complex battlefield surgeries. Drawing on UK experience in trauma care and wartime injuries, the mentoring aims to help Ukrainian service members return to duty or transition back to civilian life.
“From pumping the education system full of disinformation, deporting and indoctrinating children, to illegally detaining innocent civilians for acts as simple as displaying Ukrainian colours, Russia has proven its ruthless disregard for international law and human rights… The UK will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes to achieve a just and lasting peace,” Foreign Secretary Yvette Copper added.
In addition, the UK Foreign Secretary is set to announce £30 million ($40.5 million) in funding to strengthen Ukrainian societal resilience and to advance justice and accountability efforts for victims and survivors of alleged Russian war crimes.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the United Kingdom and France are ready to deploy international military contingents to Ukraine, with both countries expected to provide up to 5,000 troops each.
Although the intention to contribute forces has been confirmed, talks are still ongoing regarding where these units would be based.
