Written Question
Ukraine: Military Aid
Monday 7th November 2022

Asked by: Lord Bishop of Leeds (Bishops - Bishops)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what military assistance they are providing to the government of Ukraine to protect Ukraine’s (1) power plants, and (2) infrastructure, from Russian attack.

Answered by Baroness Goldie

The UK remains committed to providing military assistance to Ukraine to defend its sovereignty from Russia's illegal and unprovoked invasion.

So far, we have provided a variety of air defence systems, including Stormer vehicles fitted with Starstreak launchers, and hundreds of missiles for air defence systems. These missiles are helping to protect Ukraine's critical national infrastructure, including its power plants.

As the Defence Secretary announced on 13 October, the UK will donate AMRAAM to Ukraine, and hundreds of other air defence missiles, to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian missile strikes.
