LESS than a third of British humanitarian aid pledged to Ukraine has reached the country so far, prompting criticism of ministers’ slow progress to deliver the much-needed funds. 

International development committee chairwoman Sarah Champion said she was “shocked and disappointed” after Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said that the government had delivered just £58.1 million of aid out of the £220m promised.  

The figure was disclosed by Ms Truss in a letter to Ms Champion, published today, in response to her ongoing concerns about the progress of aid delivery to Ukraine.
