Members of Parliament from Ukraine, Poland, Finland and the Czech Republic join UK colleagues on the Foreign Affairs Committee in Westminster to consider the current state of play and next steps for Ukraine.
The visiting Parliamentarians are delegates from ‘United for Ukraine’, an international non-governmental organisation who are in the UK to support Ukrainian people impacted by the war. The Committee will also hear from the Verkhovna Rada’s Committee on Foreign Policy and Interparliamentary Co-operation.
During the session, Parliamentarians will consider the latest news on the fighting and discuss the co-ordinated sanctions response against Russia. In recent days, the US has proposed a ‘peace plan’ to bring an end to the fighting since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The humanitarian situation in Ukraine continues to be urgent. A recent research briefing from the Library at the House of Commons compiled figures relating to the humanitarian needs of the country including information that 12.7 million of Ukraine’s estimated population of 33 million were in need humanitarian assistance in January 2025. The Parliamentarians will also seek an update on Ukrainian children who have been forcibly removed to Russian territory and will consider humanitarian support for refugees.
