Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department is taking steps to provide air defences to Ukraine.

The UK is supporting Ukraine's air defence capabilities, as announced by the Prime Minister in Kyiv in November 2022.

We have provided thousands of air defence missiles, six Stormer vehicles fitted with Starstreak missile launchers, Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) for use with the US National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAM), electronic warfare equipment and dozens of anti-aircraft guns.

In addition, the UK has bolstered Ukraine's ability to provide early warning of Russian attacks from the air by gifting dozens of air defence radars.
