Ukraine's current priority is rightly on the immediate fight. We continue to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine with both lethal and non-lethal aid. On 5 July 2022 the department announced a major new training initiative for Ukrainian forces.<\/p>

The Integrated Review and Defence Command Paper made clear that we must focus on Defence capability rather than troop numbers in response to changing threats and priorities.<\/p>

There are currently no plans to revise the current targets for the size of the Armed Forces. However, Defence will ensure our strategic approach remains threat-led and as threats emerge, Defence will respond accordingly.<\/p>

NATO remains the cornerstone of the UK's defence and security and we stand by our unwavering commitment to collective defence under to Article 5. of the Washington Treaty.<\/p>

Our Defence budget is currently the largest of any European Ally, with the UK exceeding its commitments under NATO's Defence Investment Pledge to spend 2% of GDP on defence.<\/p>

We send Armed Forces personnel to participate in every NATO operation and mission. RAF fast jets are conducting NATO air policing, Royal Navy warships patrol the High North and Eastern Mediterranean in NATO deployments and the British Army defends NATO's Eastern Flank in Estonia. Our nuclear deterrent also makes a key contribution to Euro-Atlantic security.<\/p>

At the NATO Summit, the UK confirmed its forward leaning offer to NATO's future New Force Model, making available more fighter jets, almost all of the Royal Navy, including Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers, and more brigade-sized land forces. The UK also played a leading role in shaping NATO's new Strategic Concept to ensure the Alliance continues to adapt to future challenges.<\/p>

Ukraine\u2019s current focus is rightly on the immediate fight and we are continuing to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the provision of both lethal and non-lethal aid to meet their operational requirements.
