The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many long range missiles were procured for Ukraine (a) in 2022, (b) in 2023, (c) from 1 January 2024 to 5 July 2024 and (d) since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Luke Pollard

In May 2023, the UK provided Ukraine with long range Storm Shadow cruise missiles so that Ukraine can better defend its sovereign territory and protect itself from Russia’s deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure.

Further details on the number of Storm Shadow cruise missiles provided, or associated delivery schedules, cannot be shared for reasons of operational security.

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 isneeded.
