The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 22 April 2026 to question 127881 on Ukraine: Military Aid, what is the projected cost to the core defence budget of the UK lead contribution to MNFU.

Answered by Al Carns

The Ministry of Defence invested £0.2 billion last financial year to prepare the UK Armed Forces for potential deployment as part of the Multinational Force for Ukraine (MNFU).

Future costs will depend on the scale, scope and duration of any deployment and will be considered as part of the Ministry of Defence’s normal planning and budgeting processes.
