Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 2 December 2025 to Question 94242 on Ukraine: Peacekeeping Operations, whether he has authorised any changes to the readiness levels of the (a) British Army, (b) Royal Navy, (c) Royal Air Force and (d) other units as part of planning for the Multinational Force Ukraine.

As a matter of longstanding policy we do not publicly comment on the readiness levels of His Majesty’s Armed Forces. This is to safeguard operational security, and that of our Service people.

This Government is committed to ensuring our Armed Forces remain ready to respond to all challenges, including supporting Ukraine when hostilities end, through the Multinational Force Ukraine.
