The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to increase support for Ukraine.

Answered by Luke Pollard

This year the UK will give more military support to Ukraine than ever before, with a £4.5 billion boost.

At the 27th Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting, we announced a rapid surge in support, valued at around £450 million. This follows the £2.26 billion loan agreement with Ukraine earmarked for military spending.

We are absolutely committed to securing a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
