I am grateful to all the Members of Parliament who voted positively in the Verkhovna Rada today. Also, a number of bills are scheduled for this week that, to be honest, mean money for Ukraine from our partners. Seven bills are on the agenda. Most of them are in their first reading, but each one is needed to close the state budget gap. These are matters of national importance. They concern everyone – absolutely everyone – in Ukraine, not someone individually, not any particular party, group, or person. Some of these things may be difficult, unpleasant, and unpopular. But right now, without them, it is impossible to meet the full needs of our defense and ensure Ukraine’s resilience. Ukraine is bigger than any party, any interest, or any PR strategy. The gap must be closed. That’s billions of dollars that Ukraine can get specifically from positive votes. And I ask everyone in our country to be equally effective for the sake of Ukraine.
