Ukraine: Military Aid

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what military aid and equipment they expect to have supplied to Ukraine by the end of the 2024–25 financial year; and what military aid and equipment they have committed to supply in 2025–26.

Answer

Since the start of the conflict, we have provided Ukraine with over ten million rounds of various types of ammunition, delivered 500,000 artillery shells, hundreds of armoured vehicles, over 10,000 drones, a squadron of Challenger 2 tanks, Storm Shadow cruise missiles and over 15,000 anti-tank weapons.

We continue the high pace of delivery, and by the end of the financial year 2024-25 we will have delivered a further 10,000 drones under the drone capability coalition and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition.

Continuous deliveries of military aid and equipment to Ukraine are planned for Financial Year 2025-26, including 15 Gravehawk air defence systems, a significant quantity of the recently announced 650 Lightweight Multi-Role Missiles (LMM), and the majority of the recently announced £150 million support package. We are in close dialogue with the Ukrainian Government to ensure the military aid and equipment meets their needs.
