The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how the military aid allocated to support Ukraine through the Ukraine Defence Contact Group, announced on 11 April 2025, will be spent.

Answered by Luke Pollard

At the 27th Ukraine Defence Contact Group (UDCG) on April 11, co-chaired by the Defence Secretary, allies pledged an additional €21 billion (£18 billion) in military support to Ukraine.

The £450 million announced jointly by the UK with Norway will be spent on a package which includes radar systems, anti-tank mines, hundreds of thousands of drones, worth over £250 million. It also includes £160 million to support the repair and maintenance of essential battlefield vehicles and equipment.

The UK Ministry of Defence published the official press release on the April UDCG on the gov.uk website.
