To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 22 April 2026 to question 127881 on Ukraine: Military Aid, what is the projected cost to the core defence budget of the UK lead contribution to MNFU.
The Ministry of Defence invested £0.2 billion last financial year to prepare the UK Armed Forces for potential deployment as part of the Multinational Force for Ukraine (MNFU).
