Security will be a key factor in the development and recovery of Ukraine after the war. This was noted by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during the Yalta European Strategy Annual Meeting in Kyiv on September 9-10.
"We have to provide security infrastructure - from bomb shelters to air defense equipment, to qualitatively modernize our army, which has currently reformed on the battlefield and switched to NATO standards in the shortest possible time. We still have a lot of work to do, and the security trend today is the main framework for our state," Denys Shmyhal emphasized.
Among other frames of Ukraine's development, according to the Prime Minister, will be digitization, reducing the role of the State in the economy, and investing in human capital.
"It is important that these frameworks give us an understanding of how to move. Digitization has permeated all reforms in Ukraine nowadays. It enables us to fight corruption thereby removing the human factor. Investing in human capital enables us to grow and nurture the next generation that will shape the modern economy. Reducing the State's role in the economy is privatization and corporatization, the Government is currently working on," the Head of the Government noted.
The Prime Minister has supported the words of the President that Ukraine is a worthwhile reserve for the European Union, stressing that in all areas - from energy, security to human capital - Ukraine is a real advantage for Europe and an equal partner.
"Our grand recovery plan will provide huge opportunities for our development. I am convinced that we will rack up on what we’ve lost rather fast," Denys Shmyhal emphasized.
