In October 2020, the UK and Ukraine signed a ‘Political, Free Trade and Strategic Partnership Agreement’. It is the first agreement signed by post-Brexit Britain with an emerging market economy.
Spanning over 200 pages, the agreement aims to strengthen political, security and economic ties between the two countries. It sets out an ambition to develop a framework for a so-called ‘Strategic Partnership Dialogue’ at a high political level and aims to unlock new resources such as UK Export Finance.
