Thanks to PM @donaldtusk for hosting us today for key discussions on deterrence & defence and support to Ukraine. #Poland makes #NATO stronger. I also welcome PM @RishiSunak ’s major announcement on defence spending & #Ukraine support. Once again, the #UK is leading by example.

A welcome contribution to our shared security by our key Ally. The 2% minimum was agreed to at a time when war in Europe seemed to most as nothing but a distant memory. We’re in a new situation now, and 2% is just simply no longer sufficient.

Ensuring Ukraine wins is the most important thing we can do for global peace and security. That’s why we’re increasing our support - backing Ukraine with £500 million for military aid and delivering our largest-ever package of equipment. #StandWithUkraine

I will always back our Armed Forces. Over the next six years, we’ll invest an additional £75 billion in our defence - fully funded with no increase in borrowing or debt. @grantshapps explains the package ⬇️

Predictably Labour’s response to PM’s defence spending increase is bluff & delay. We don’t need another “defence review” -which the Treasury love so it can delay new money. We need leadership. If Labour had been paying attention these last few years they wouldn’t be so clueless

After great news from US this is fantastic from UK. My understanding is that it’s £500m on stuff we’re buying ➕ same(ish) value again on stuff from our inventory. More Storm Shadow is really big bit but all very welcome & to enormous credit of @RishiSunak & @grantshapps . 🇺🇦🇬🇧

delighted the PM @RishiSunak has added over £500m to helping Ukraine fight Russia. That takes total sum to over £3bn for this year! Putin must fail.

The MRSS isn't new, it has been a matter of public record for years. What will be interesting is whether the numbers planned / ordered align to original intention, or if they're reduced, helping make the future RN/RFA smaller than it is now.

The entire world witnessed allied action in the skies above Israel and neighboring countries. It demonstrated how truly effective unity in defending against terror can be when it is based on sufficient political will. Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and…

Our strategic resilience is every bit as important as our frontline force. Warfighting is a whole of nation endeavour & our adversaries knowing that we can stay in the fight for as long as it takes is big deterrent against taking us on in the first place.

Thanks to PM, econ has turned corner -he shd back himself that conditions are now right for 2.5% GDP on Defence. Our Armed Forces urgently need it. Mil can’t grow without signal to industry to build factories. So 3% shd be clear commitment in nxt 5yrs.

🇫🇷 creating a specialist logistics brigade to support divisional level high intensity operations. Rebuilding this kind of capability is exactly what @NATO is asking of Allies, in particular larger ones whose Divisions and Corps are the framework in which others fight.
