The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to take steps with his international partners to provide unmanned surface vehicles to Ukraine.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The UK and its international partners remain committed to equipping Ukraine with the capabilities it needs to defend its sovereign territory, in line with its priority requirements. This includes the provision of unmanned surface vehicles.

We continue to work closely with the Government of Ukraine to ensure that the support we provide aligns with the evolving tactical demands of the conflict, including through the UK-Germany joint leadership of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group.
