Ukraine: Military Aid

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much financial support has the UK contributed to Ukraine through the Ukraine Defence Contact Group since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Since taking a leadership role in the Ukraine Defence Contact Group (UDCG) in February, the UK Ministry of Defence has published official press releases on the February and April UDCG meetings on the gov.uk website announcing UK commitments. In February, the UK announced a £150 million military support package to Ukraine and a further £450 million for a rapid surge in military support was announced on the 27th UDCG on April 11.

Whilst the UK has not done formal press releases for previous UDCGs, since July 2024, the UK has publicly committed over £3 billion in equipment in support of Ukraine, including £1.6 billion through United Kingdom Export Finance (UKEF).
