The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with members of the Coalition of the Willing on the potential deployment of troops to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire.

Answered by Al Carns

Operational discussions continue with fellow Multi-National Force Ukraine nations, but we will not be drawn into detail on the specifics of UK Armed Forces deployments at the risk of operational security.

This Government is committed to ensuring our Armed Forces remain ready to respond to all challenges, including deployment to Ukraine.
