Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made on the potential risk of escalation in supplying long-range ballistic weaponry to Ukraine; and what other weaponry and aid is he may provide to Ukraine as an alternative.

While we are mindful of the risk of escalation, we will continue to support Ukraine with an appropriate and balanced mix of military capabilities to assist them in defending their sovereign territory against Russian aggression. The UK will keep our support to Ukraine under review and has not ruled out the possibility of providing longer range weapons systems to counter Russia's recent indiscriminate mass targeting of civilian infrastructure.
