Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking with his NATO counterparts to ensure routes out of the Ukraine remain safe and open.
Where routes are available they will be secured by Ukraine. NATO and individual Allies are helping the armed forces of Ukraine by stepping up assistance with air-defence, anti-tank weapons as well as humanitarian and financial aid. NATO cannot guarantee routes out of Ukraine because the Alliance does not intend to deploy troops to Ukraine.
