President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi addressed the nation, speaking about his workday in three of our regions and the necessity to strengthen veterans' policy.

"I wish good health, dear Ukrainians!

Today — a working day in three of our regions. Dnipropetrovsk, Kryvyi Rih, Cherkasy region. Everywhere among the main issues — strengthening REB, means of radio-electronic warfare, and enhancing our PPO. Several important assignments regarding this are today.

Dnipro — it was very pleasant to visit the "Synergy" lyceum. Thanked teachers, spoke with students. An important mood — the mood of our future, our country.

Kryvyi Rih — held a security meeting regarding the situation in the region, and the content of the meeting touched upon the situation in other regions as well as critical sectors of our economy. Assigned the Head of Ukraine's Government to hold a separate meeting specifically about Kirovohrad Oblast — about all issues. This is also ensuring quality and stable water supply, operation of uranium mines, protection of workers. Report — within a week. I am grateful to everyone in Kryvyi Rih and the region who ensures help in building fortifications in frontline areas, especially Zaporizhzhia. Discussed the economy as well: the state must support the revival of Ukrainian manufacturing.

Cherkasy — participated in a regional meeting of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities. Main issues, naturally, are about work and development in the region. There were here at the meeting, first vice-premier minister and minister of agrarian policy. Representatives of local business took part in the congress. This is now one of the top priorities of our state — to give maximum opportunities for entrepreneurs to work towards economic growth and job creation. Last year we secured the basis for Ukraine's economic stability. Our maritime corridor works, and already over 12 million tons of cargo have been exported by sea. We ensured energy protection — and this winter season, heating season is proceeding much more stably than last year. There are agreements with our partners regarding long-term support for Ukraine, financial programs that add confidence to our state. Last year ended with economic growth over 5%. And this year should maintain the dynamics. We need transparent, clean, legal relations between state institutions and business and work of business in a clear, legal field — "in white" and for the sake of preserving and creating as many jobs as possible. Stability of our economy, social stability of Ukraine — these are elements of our state's stability in war. I am grateful to everyone who works so that Ukraine can stand firm. I am grateful to every entrepreneur, every developer, all our people who created for Ukraine, among other things, a new industry — the drone industry, and who create a new powerful Ukrainian REB, all our IT specialists who have become defenders. The government supports this work as much as possible. Thank you to everyone fighting for our country and its people!

And one more thing.

This morning we discussed with Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal strengthening the policy of heroes — veterans' policy. Steps that overcome existing problems in this area and add confidence to our people. Steps for recharging — and not only in this direction. With all respect to Ms. Minister, this is a matter of management exclusively. Ukraine needs strength, fresh energy, and sufficient leadership in every sphere. We must win this war. And do as much as possible this year, that is, even more than possible. Ukraine will win.

Glory to our people!

Glory to Ukraine!

And a big thank you to you, Cherkasy!
