On November 21, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and presented the Resilience Plan—a strategic ten-point program aimed at consolidating society, strengthening the state, and ensuring the long-term development of the country.

“At this stage, it will be decided who will prevail: we or the enemy. This battle is not just for Ukraine but for all of Europe and the entire world,” emphasized the President of Ukraine.

During his address, Zelenskyy highlighted that the Resilience Plan consists of ten points along with accompanying appendices. Specifically, it encompasses key aspects critical to the country’s viability, including:

• Unity: Accelerating European integration, advancing NATO alignment, promoting digitalization, and ensuring international accountability for Russia’s crimes.
• Frontline: Preparing and strengthening military units.
• Weapons: Scaling up production and ensuring supply.
• Finances: Supporting the social sector and assisting businesses.
• Energy: Protecting and developing critical infrastructure.
• Security: Combating crime and safeguarding citizens.
• Communities: Integrating the interests of all citizens and ethnic groups.
• Human Capital: Implementing barrier-free standards and advancing education and healthcare.
• Culture: Supporting national cultural products and countering Russian influence.
• Hero Policy: Integrating veterans into public life.

One of the key focuses of the Plan is attention to every community and representatives of ethnic groups, particularly through the continued activities of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities.

“Ukraine has been and will remain an independent state with its own destiny. Ukraine alone will determine how to live now and in the future. Ukraine has the right to this. Ukraine has earned the right to this. But to realize this right, we must endure now. We need internal resilience,” Zelenskyy emphasized.

The Resilience Plan is more than just a strategy. It is a roadmap for Ukraine, illustrating how collective efforts can enable us not only to resist the enemy but also to build a strong, united, and modern state. Moving forward, this Plan will be further detailed with the involvement of civil society, businesses, the cultural community, and experts.
