President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with government officials and representatives of the Verkhovna Rada. They discussed the decisions to be made to support the Defense Forces and maintain economic activity. It was agreed with the government that the ministers would look for alternative solutions without putting pressure on "white" business. It was also agreed on additional state steps to de-shadow the economy, UNN reports.
"I had a long, very detailed meeting with government officials and representatives of the Verkhovna Rada. We discussed several issues. We are planning decisions to be made to support our Defense Forces. And also to support economic activity in the country. So that we can not only save jobs, but also give the Ukrainian economy more opportunities, more growth potential. These are important issues, and so are the conclusions from the meetings with entrepreneurs in the regions. The government will provide all the details when the relevant draft decisions are prepared. But we can already say that we have agreed with the government: ministers will look for alternative solutions without putting pressure on "white" business. We have also agreed on additional state steps to de-shadow the economy," Zelensky said.
In addition, he said, today they discussed working with partners to bring about real solutions to the promised $50 billion from frozen Russian assets.
"There have been many political statements from partners. A lot of them are still being made now. But we need a real mechanism. We need the funds from the aggressor's assets to work for real help in defending against the aggressor - for all this to work for the sake of Ukraine and Ukrainians in the coming months. The relevant discussions have been going on for too long, and we finally need decisions," Zelensky said.
