Transport and social services will be inspected across all regions of Ukraine. The primary objective is to ensure that residents, even in the most remote villages, have access to medical facilities and school transportation.
This was announced by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during a meeting with representatives of mountain communities.
Zelenskyy has instructed the government to thoroughly analyze the capacity of state, regional, and local budgets and to conduct a comprehensive logistical audit throughout the country. He emphasized that guaranteeing access for every individual is a fundamental duty of the state.
The President stressed that the audit must be practical and focused on people’s actual needs, rather than being a mere formality. He called for prioritizing two key aspects: unimpeded access for ambulances and safe transportation for children to schools.
The main goal of the inspection is to confirm that every Ukrainian has genuine access. If the budget temporarily lacks funds for the major repair of a specific road, Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged for the exploration of alternative and prompt solutions to assist people.
“Even where you don’t have money for a road, but a road exists, then deploy an all-wheel-drive ambulance there, and it must be done,” Zelenskyy remarked.
In response to the president’s directive, Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi stated that the government will work on this task and prepare a detailed action plan. A report on the audit findings and a concept for programmatic solutions will be presented during the “Carpathian Integration Initiative” summit.
As a reminder, Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously stated that the country needs only 5% of America’s interceptor missile reserves to survive the winter.
