UK, Ukraine Announce Start of Digital Trade Agreement Talks

The U.K. and Ukraine began talks on a new digital trade agreement during a meeting Tuesday between British Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan and Ukraine's First Deputy Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko. The agreement will seek to drop barriers to digital trade in a bid to boost Ukrainian jobs following Russia’s invasion, said the U.K. Department for International Trade Wednesday. The U.K. decided earlier to eliminate import tariffs on all goods from Ukraine.
