Ukraine: Warships
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Ukrainian naval ships are docked in UK waters; and what plans he has to return those ships to the Ukrainian navy for active service.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Royal Navy transferred two Sandown class mine countermeasure vessels to the Ukrainian Navy last year, both of which are docked in the UK.
The ships company are undergoing training and exercises with the Royal Navy and NATO partners to prepare them for future operations in the Black Sea. They are welcome to remain in the UK for as long as they need to.
