Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa
I thank the heads of the communities in the Rivne, Volyn, and Zhytomyr regions for taking such good care of your people and our state. The main focus of our meeting was security in the northern direction. We must remain strong, so reinforcing our defense, building fortifications, and ensuring our troops are ready for any scenario is a priority.
We also discussed support for education and children. There is a clear task for government officials — to ensure free hot meals for all schoolchildren starting from September 1. The issue of building new schools and completing those started before the full-scale invasion will be worked through, especially in communities with high birth rates, along with providing educational institutions with school buses. Road reconstruction remains an important topic. The Government has been instructed to speed up this work.
I am grateful to every community for your resilience and for finding solutions to develop and protect your people even in such difficult conditions.
