The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the United States' decision to pause certain arms supplies to Ukraine.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The UK and our allies have been steadfast in our support for Ukraine and continue to send a wide range of lethal aid alongside continued humanitarian and fiscal support. We work closely with Ukraine and allies, including through our joint leadership of the Ukraine Defence Contact group, to ensure that our collective support meets Ukrainian needs.

We welcome US support to Ukraine, including President Trump’s work to secure a just and lasting peace and we will continue to work closely with the US as we have always done.
