President Zelenskyy: There will be meetings in Europe

“The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine will undergo changes, and we discussed the relevant directions for these changes with Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Ihor Klymenko,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Jan. 4.

I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!

We are continuing internal changes in Ukraine today, and each of them must strengthen our state and our Ukrainian resilience. Five regional administrations – I held interviews with candidates today. Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Poltava, Ternopil, and Chernivtsi regions. Strong leaders are needed – to support their communities and to be able to help other regions that truly need it. Leadership at the local level is just as important as leadership at the central government level. I am grateful to those who have worked in the regions with genuine responsibility. The names of the new heads will be announced once the formal appointment procedures begin. Next week, the respective administrations should already have their leaders in place.
