A new business centre will open in Kyiv this year to ensure Britain’s cutting-edge defence industry and innovators can step up their work to equip Ukraine’s Armed Forces in their fight against Putin’s illegal invasion.
Backed by three years of UK Government funding, the facility will help deliver good jobs across the UK by opening up new markets for UK defence companies, especially small and medium-sized businesses, News Cover reports, citing UK government.
On its first anniversary, it is a clear demonstration of the 100 Year Partnership in action - establishing stronger and closer defence cooperation and industrial bases.
The realities of Russia’s brutal invasion mean that travel restrictions, security, insurance requirements and suitable premises make it complicated for smaller UK companies to operate in Ukraine. The new centre will help address some of these challenges to ensure British companies of all sizes can provide Ukraine with the vital equipment it needs in its fight.
