Ukraine

Baroness Lawlor Excerpts

Tuesday 19th December 2023 Lords Chamber

[The Earl of Minto (Con)]

I fully commit to doing that.

[Baroness Lawlor (Con)]

My Lords, I thank my noble friend for his repeating the Answer and follow on. Can he say a little more about the maritime capability of Ukraine? One of the aims of this maritime alliance or coalition is to reinforce the maritime capacity of Ukraine. It would be very helpful to know what exactly that maritime capability is.

[The Earl of Minto (Con)]

My noble friend raises a particularly topical subject. There are obviously areas I cannot go into, but the new coalition will deliver long- term support to Ukraine, including training, equipment and infrastructure, to bolster security throughout the Black Sea.
