The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many artillery shells were procured by his Department for Ukraine (a) directly and (b) through international routes since the outbreak of that country's conflict with Russia.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Ministry of Defence has supplied 400,000 artillery shells to Ukraine since the outbreak of that country's conflict with Russia.

On behalf of the International Fund for Ukraine, a substantial ammunition package was announced by the Prime Minister at the NATO summit on 11 July 2024. This package will provide up to 120,000 rounds of 152mm artillery ammunition. The ammunition will be newly manufactured by a European supplier, stimulating new industrial capacity to provide Ukraine with high priority ammunition.
