The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what plans her Department has to support exchanges between British and Ukrainian scientists, engineers and innovators working on defence and security technologies.

Answered by Kanishka Narayan

DSIT does not lead defence or security cooperation with Ukraine, which is driven by other government departments under the 100 Year Partnership. DSIT is supporting Ukrainian and UK researchers and businesses through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) grants and Horizon Europe funding, which offer routes for scientific exchange.
