United Kingdom and the Russian invasion of Ukraine

The United Kingdom has supported Ukraine during the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, during both Conservative and Labour governments. After it began on 24 February 2022, then Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson condemned the invasion, provided military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and sanctioned Russia and Belarus, the two countries most involved in invading Ukraine. Support to Ukraine has continued under prime ministers Liz Truss (who was Foreign Secretary at the time the invasion started), Rishi Sunak and incumbent Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Additionally, the first minister of Scotland and the Scottish Government have provided both financial support and humanitarian aid to Ukraine during the invasion.
