<p>In preparation for our recent trade mission to Ukraine, the Government engaged
in extensive discussions with all participating businesses. Notably, during the mission,
BAE Systems successfully negotiated a contract with the UK Ministry of Defence to
maintain and repair L119 Light Guns directly in Ukraine. This arrangement not only
speeds up the return of these crucial assets to the frontline but also significantly
bolsters Ukraine’s defence capabilities. Moreover, the department facilitated numerous
discussions to help businesses align the capabilities they offer with the urgent demands
of Ukraine's defence efforts, ensuring their contributions are both timely and impactful.</p>
