The UK and Ukraine have announced a new digital trade agreement on the six month anniversary of the Russian invasion
International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan met with Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK Vadym Prystaiko in London on Tuesday to "reiterate the UK’s unwavering support for Ukraine and begin talks".
During an interview with LBC's Rachael Venables, Vadym Prystaiko said: "The UK was with us all these years but after the launch of the attack against us by Putin in late February this cooperation became not just very needed but actually needed for survival of our nation. And that’s where we had opportunities starting with armaments and financial and political support.
Recalling the brutality of the last six months, the ambassador said Ukrainians survive on a "dark sense of humour" knowing that they are six months into Putin's promised "three day" plan to capture the country, She went on: "Digitalisation of course is the way to help businesses to grow, to strip away costs and to build new ways of working. We are really excited to be bringing together how we can do that through this DTA with Ukraine.
Vadym Prystaiko, Ambassador of Ukraine to the United Kingdom said: "The United Kingdom has shown unwavering support throughout this illegal invasion and the ties between our governments have never been closer.
