Military Support to Ukraine
- I am pleased to provide the House with a further update on equipment that the UK is providing to the armed forces of Ukraine. The UK is proud to lead the way in providing military assistance to Ukraine. The Prime Minister announced at the NATO Leaders’ Summit on 30 June that a further £1 billion of military support to Ukraine will be provided. This brings the UK’s total military support to Ukraine to £2.3billion.We have already supplied Ukraine with a significant quantity of equipment, including:More than 6,900 anti-tank missiles (including more than 5,000 next-generation light anti-tank weapons, as well as Javelin, Brimstone, and other anti-tank weapons)Multiple launch rocket systems120 armoured fighting vehiclesSix Stormer vehicles fitted with Starstreak launchers as well as hundreds of Starstreak missilesMaritime BrimstoneMore than 16,000 rounds of artillery ammunition, as well as anti-structure munitions and 4.5 tonnes of plastic explosiveCommunications equipmentElectronic warfare equipmentMore than 82,000 helmets, 8,450 sets of body armour, medical supplies and more than 5,000 night-vision devices.Our support for the armed forces of Ukraine (AFU) will continue. In the next few weeks, we will be giving the AFU equipment, including:More than 20 M109 155mm self-propelled guns36 L119 105mm artillery guns and ammunitionMore than 50,000 rounds of ammunition for Ukraine’s Soviet-era artilleryAt least 1,600 more anti-tank weaponsUnmanned aerial systems (including 100s loitering aerial munitions)Counter-battery radar systemsMedical equipmentFuture planned military support will also include more sophisticated defence systems across a range of capabilities.On 25 April I also committed to placing an update on international donations of military equipment to Ukraine in the House Library. I include below two summaries: one of UK donations; and a second of combined international donations. These summaries only contain quantities known to the UK where other countries are content for this information to be released. We do not necessarily see or know the totality of assistance provided by all donors. The delivery and provision of aid is dynamic and fast moving so the numbers and types of capability included are likely to change quickly.The scale and range of equipment we are providing, at pace, demonstrates how we are delivering on our commitment to provide Ukraine with support to resist and defeat the Russian invasion. We will continue to do so until Ukraine’s sovereignty is restored.UK donations to Ukraine:Major capabilities
