The President of Ukraine presented the Internal Resilience Plan, which consists of 10 key points, in the Verkhovna Rada. The head of state stressed that Ukraine will not give up its rights to the entire territory, MP Oleksiy Honcharenko said in a Telegram post on Tuesday, 19 November.
“We are not trading Ukraine’s sovereignty, security or future. We will not give up Ukraine’s rights to its entire territory,” Zelenskyy stressed. The President also noted that no external force will use Ukraine in its own political interests, including in election campaigns in Europe.
The President stressed the importance of NATO as a guarantor of security for Ukraine and the whole of Europe. He also reminded that Ukraine had initiated the Peace Formula, which has already united 100 countries and international organisations.
“Peace is not a gift. It requires efforts based on unity,” Zelensky said, addressing MPs and citizens.
The document presented here consists of the following priorities:
- Unity is the cohesion of society in the face of challenges.
- Front – support for defenders and defence capability.
- Arms – providing Ukraine with modern weapons.
- Money is the stability of the economy and finance.
- Energy – strengthening the energy system.
- Security is the protection of citizens and strategic facilities.
- Communities – development of local self-government.
- Human capital – investments in education, healthcare and social protection.
- Cultural sovereignty is the preservation and promotion of Ukrainian culture.
- Thepolicy of heroes is to honour and support the military, veterans and families of the fallen.
Zelenskyy stressed that unity and a systematic approach to internal resilience are the basis for countering aggression and building a peaceful future for Ukraine. The plan demonstrates a strategic vision of the state’s development even in extremely difficult conditions of war.
