During the discussion, the Deputy Prime Minister noted the promptness of Caritas Ukraine in making decisions. According to her, this has become an important marker of support for Ukrainian society.

Among many issues, special attention was paid to the psychological recovery of Ukrainians affected by the war.

She sincerely thanked Caritas Ukraine for its comprehensive assistance and stressed that she greatly appreciated such cooperation.

"We must maintain this interaction to restore a decent life for every member of society affected by the war," the Deputy Prime Minister concluded.
