Answered by Luke Pollard

Since the beginning of the conflict, we have delivered over 490,000 rounds of artillery ammunition to Ukraine. In February this year, we announced a £245 million munitions package to procure and invigorate supply chains to produce urgently needed ammunition for Ukraine.

This Government is steadfast in our commitment to support Ukraine for as long as it takes. On 10 July 2024 the Prime Minister announced that the UK will provide Ukraine with £3 billion a year of military support for as long as it is needed.
