answer text <p>The UK is absolutely clear in its rejection of Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea. The British Government regularly highlights, publically and multilaterally, Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and human rights abuses towards those who oppose the illegal annexation. In public statements, including the UK statement at the recent UN Human Rights Council, our bilateral contacts with Russia and in multilateral fora - we have called on Russia to immediately release Ukrainian prisoners detained for politically motivated reasons. The EU has taken practical measures to reinforce its policy of non-recognition of the illegal annexation of Crimea, including on 18 June the EU renewed trade sanctions in response to Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol for a further 12 months; and on 5 July economic sanctions were renewed for a further 6 months.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​The UK, as a Troop Contributing Country (TCC) to UN peacekeeping missions, receives reimbursements from the UN for equipment it has provided. These reimbursements fall into two categories: self-sustainment and major equipment. Self-sustainment can include items such as bedding and furniture. Major equipment can includes items such as generators, containers and vehicles. A full list of the equipment the UK has received reimbursement for, each year since 2013-14, is not held centrally by the FCO and could only be provided at a disproportionate cost.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​UK expenditure on UN peacekeeping includes the following: our assessed (mandatory) contributions for individual peacekeeping operations; funding for UK troop deployments to Cyprus, South Sudan and Somalia and a number of staff officers and police deployed to UN peacekeeping missions and UN headquarters. We have also funded projects in the UN's Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) with the purpose of making peacekeeping more effective and efficient. Our expenditure on UN peacekeeping comes from the Cross Government Conflict, Security and Stability Fund (CSSF) and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.</p><p>Our assessed (mandatory) contributions for individual UN Peacekeeping missions were £265m in 2017/18, £277m in 2016/17, £312m in 2015/16, £347m in 2014/15, £304m in 2013/14, £324m in 2012/13, £367m in 2011/12. FCO internal records do not cover earlier years: however, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Annual Report states that our assessed contributions for peacekeeping overall (including contributions to peacekeeping undertaken by other multilateral organisations) was £408m. The funded projects in DPKO, via the CSSF, cost £4.4m in 2017/18, £2.6m in 2016/17 and £3.1m in 2015/16. Our UK troop deployment to Cyprus costs £18m per year and our troop deployments to South Sudan and Somalia cost £15m in 2016/17 with figures currently not available for 2017/18.</p><p> </p>
