Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has outlined the top priorities he expects the renewed government, led by Yulia Svyrydenko, to focus on.
She said this in a post on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.
“The head of state has identified the priority tasks that stand before the renewed government: strengthening Ukraine’s economic potential; expanding programs to support Ukrainians, scaling up the production of our own weapons,” Svyrydenko wrote.
She stressed that these tasks can be achieved through tangible deregulation, the elimination of bureaucratic obstacles, the reduction of non-critical state expenditures and duplication of functions within state institutions, the protection of entrepreneurship, and the full concentration of state resources for the defense of Ukraine and recovery after hostilities.
“First of all, this is ensuring the Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine and guaranteeing the stability of our state. The state apparatus has no right to waste the resources and potential of our country. Ukraine deserves to be among the strongest economies in Europe,” she said.
Svyrydenko stressed that Ukrainian society must receive clearer instruments of social support. “Every Ukrainian military man, every Ukrainian veteran deserves concrete and tangible state respect and gratitude,” she said.
“The decision on the appointment of the Prime Minister is made by the Verkhovna Rada. We are preparing to engage with parliament and present the relevant government steps,” she added.
Zelensky earlier proposed that Svyrydenko lead the Cabinet of Ministers during their recent meeting.
