We discussed with the President the challenges facing our country and the changes needed to strengthen the Government’s work and our relations with international partners.
Today, it is vitally important to pool all our strengths and resources to strengthen Ukraine.
I am grateful to the President for his trust and high regard for our team’s work. I am proud to have had the honour of leading the Government during the most difficult period in Ukraine’s recent history.
I would like to thank every single person defending Ukrainian soil; our military are our strength and our independence.
I would like to thank the entire government team for their work for the good of the state during this time of great challenges. Together, we have visited every corner of our incredible country, paying particular attention to the frontline regions; we have taken extremely complex and urgent decisions; we have weathered the harshest winter; and not for a single second have we allowed the enemy to stop the heartbeat of our state — its economy.
I also discussed our next steps with the President.
I am ready to continue serving the Ukrainian state and carrying out tasks aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s position, protecting our national interests and bringing about a just peace.
Glory to Ukraine!🇺🇦
You probably don’t understand the power configuration here. The political party “Servant of the People” with Zelensky in it’s head won the previous elections in a landslide. Won so hard like none before. With mono-party-majority, which didn’t happen at any point before.
Zelensky is able to reshuffle the government not because he is a president, but because his party has the biggest amount of seats in the parliament - even after all the scandals and splits.
