Prime Minister: Following the National Barrier-Free Council meeting, ministries received specific tasks and deadlines

At the meeting of the National Barrier-Free Council, participants summed up the results of work done in 2025–2026 and outlined key tasks for the next two years.

"Following the meeting, ministries received specific tasks and deadlines for their implementation," Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi said.

He noted that over the past six months, the Government had expanded the program of barrier-free routes in cities and communities. It has also updated prosthetics provisions for people with complex and multiple amputations, taking into account their individual needs.

Communities have designated 1,300 barrier-free accessibility coordinators. "Our next task is to provide them with the tools to coordinate and monitor the implementation of decisions at the local level," the Head of Government emphasized.

According to him, a separate area of work is employment and creating accessible conditions for people with disabilities, veterans, older people, and parents of children, as well as young people.

Sergii Koretskyi thanked First Lady Olena Zelenska for her leadership in this process and thanked the Presidential Commissioner for Barrier-Free Environment, Tetiana Lomakina, for her consistent work.

"We are counting on continued joint work to make barrier-free accessibility a basic standard in every sphere of life," the Prime Minister stressed.
