Conservative Friends of Ukraine Chairman Jack Lopresti MP and CFU Director Maria Tymofienko travelled to Ukraine for the third time so far this year. They attended the International Defence Industries Forum in which they discussed the future of technology and innovation in the defence manufacturing sector, as well as how we in the United Kingdom may build commercial links and create opportunities to export materiel procured here in the UK to help Ukraine win the war.
Jack Lopresti and Maria Tymofienko also met with Deputy Head of President Zelensky’s Office, Igor Zhovkva, to discuss what more the United Kingdom can do to support Ukraine. They also discussed security guarantees arrangements that the UK has been asked to support.
