The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what form, physical or remote intelligence, the UK commitment to participate in US-led monitoring and verification of a ceasefire in Ukraine will take.

Answered by Al Carns

Technical discussions with the United States and international partners on potential monitoring and verification arrangements for any ceasefire in Ukraine are ongoing. As reiterated by the Prime Minister, we have seen excellent progress in US-led negotiations in recent weeks and we will continue to work closely with our US allies to guarantee Ukraine’s security long-term including participating in US-led ceasefire monitoring.
