Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to further support Ukraine.
The UK continues to step up its assistance, spending £4.5 billion on military support for Ukraine this year - more than ever before. This includes £2.26 billion of interest from frozen Russian assets which the UK will use to source essential military capabilities for Ukraine.
We also recently agreed a £1.6 billion export finance deal which will supply Ukraine with more than 5,000 air defence missiles. The deal marks a historic step for industrial relations between the UK and Ukraine, building on the 100 Year Partnership signed recently by the Prime Minister and President Zelenskyy in Kyiv.
Furthermore, we also announced the biggest package of sanctions in over two years to continue to bear down on Russia's economy.
