The UK and Ukraine have kicked off talks on a new digital trade agreement, which is intended to help Ukraine rebuild its economy following the Russian invasion.

The digital trade agreement will aim to support Ukrainian businesses by cutting red tape and helping them to trade with the UK more efficiently through technology such as electronic transactions, e-signatures, and e-contracts, the UK’s Department for International Trade said in an announcement.
