Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps his Department is taking to help improve trade with Ukraine.

The Department for International Trade (DIT) helps British companies enter the Ukrainian market and increase their competitiveness through overseas trade. We also offer professional and personalised assistance to help companies in Ukraine locate and expand in the UK. So far this year DIT has helped British companies deliver more than £40m of export wins in Ukraine. At the same time we ensure that UK companies are aware of the specific business risks which they might encounter when operating in Ukraine. More details are on our website https://www.gov.uk/government/world/organisations/uk-trade-investment-ukraine and https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/overseas-business-risk-ukraine.
