Today I am here in our beautiful Rivne region. I want to thank all our communities across three regions – Rivne, Zhytomyr, and Volyn. Today, we spoke with community leaders, including about the defense of this northern direction, given the existing threats. Yesterday we met with communities in the Chernihiv and Kyiv regions, and today with this part of our country as well. No direction will be left without attention. Many social issues have been discussed, and a wide range of education-related matters – school transport, roads to ensure access to schools, and the construction of new schools. Government officials were present online and heard everything. I expect them to respond in a substantive and prompt way. I am counting on concrete decisions. I thank everyone who works for our state and everyone who defends Ukraine, their own community, as they would defend themselves. A meaningful day. Thank you, Rivne region! And dear Rivne region, today I also visited our warriors here – I presented awards to our guys, wounded warriors who are recovering right here. One of them is from Mariupol – Maksym – who gave me this patch here. With a clear wish: for Ukraine to return to Mariupol, to return to all its land. And we very much want it to be that way. I thank all our warriors, our defenders! Glory to Ukraine!
