<p>The United Kingdom is providing substantial assistance to strengthen Ukraine’s
democracy and institutions as part of its reform programme. In July 2017, we hosted
the inaugural Ukraine Reform Conference and have since participated in annual conferences
including Toronto (2019). We are providing over £32 million of programme support,
including at least £9.2m for reforms via the Good Governance Fund. The UK improved
capacity of Central Election Commission training over 2,600 key electoral officials.
In short we helped ensure that recent presidential and parliamentary elections were
widely hailed as Ukraine’s freest and fairest to date. I look forward to my visit
to Ukraine next week.</p>
