The UK is committed to tackling conflict-related sexual violence and we are working closely with the Ukrainian Government on this issue, including through specialist UK expertise to support investigations. As part of the UK's £220 million of humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, we are helping ensure legal support and crisis accommodation for victims and supporting the effective documentation of gender-based violence cases. UK funding to the UN Populations Fund is also expanding the provision of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights in Ukraine.
