Ukraine: Military Aid

Asked by Ben Obese-JectyConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 22 April 2026UIN 127881

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether activity related to Ukraine via the Coalition of the Willing will be funded by the Ministry of Defence or from the contingency reserve.

Answered by Al Carns

The Government is investing in the UK Armed Forces to prepare for deployment as part of the Multinational Force for Ukraine (MNFU). This capital spending is being funded from the core defence budget and sends a clear signal to allies and adversaries of the UK's intent to lead the MNFU, fulfil our promises to secure the peace in Ukraine and deliver a new deal for European security to make Britain safer.
