	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2023 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence recognises the importance of collaboration, including closer and earlier dialogue with industry. The Defence and Security Industrial Strategy set the framework for a deeper, more sophisticated, and strategic relationship with industry. We are delivering this by strengthening the Defence Suppliers Forum, engaging our largest suppliers through the Strategic Partnering Programme, and focusing on export opportunities through the Defence Growth Partnership. Complementing this work we continue to engage with the defence sector through trade associations, and our outreach activity aimed at Small and Medium Sized Enterprises.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 28/03/2023 11:19:14 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk

	uin	172470
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2023 answer text <p>Ukraine continues to conduct a highly effective defence against Russia's invasion. On the ground, it holds Russian forces along a 1,200km front. In the air, it has effectively neutralised Russia's theoretically overwhelming advantage in air power through the skilled use of ground-based air defences. At sea, Ukraine's limited naval forces have had remarkable success to preventing Russia's Black Sea Fleet from conducting its sea control mission in key parts of the Black Sea. Ukraine has recaptured approximately half of the extra territory Russia seized after 24 February 2022. Ukraine experiences pressures on its own military resources, but it has inflicted huge losses on Russia. The Russian military has suffered up to 200,000 casualties, and nearly 10,000 of its military vehicles have been verified as lost.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 28/03/2023 11:11:27 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey
