Today an initial report was given by Government officials and team of the Office – Oleksii Kuleba and Viktor Mykyta – on critical programs that are now suspended and were previously funded by American support. I have already instructed them to do some key things at our internal expense, as well as to communicate with the Europeans.

Energy sector – there were programs for distributed generation, other resilience programs for Ukrainian communities, for cities and villages.

The second issue is veteran projects, which were, are, and will continue to be numerous in our regions and communities. Veteran hubs, support lines, assistance in setting up veterans' private businesses.

And the third – border crossing points – is something that was developed in cooperation with partners. The new modern crossing points are intended to accelerate economic activity and increase the transparency of customs officers' work. In particular, these are projects in ports. Indeed, it is about economic security.

We will seek a greater internal resource for this. There are certain issues related to the Ministry of Health, as well as to cybersecurity. We are dealing with all of this.

I have also given instructions to continue the audit of the suspended areas of assistance from the United States; and there must be more of our own and European engagement, especially in the humanitarian, security, and social areas. So that we can support our people now, while a new American policy is being formulated.

🌾Ukraine increased exports and imports of agricultural products last year. This happened for the first time in the context of russia's full-scale aggression, according to the Committee on Agrarian and Land Policy.

Agri-food products accounted for 60% of Ukraine's total exports in 2024, and the result is among the best in the history of Ukraine's independence.

This was largely due to the stable operation of Ukraine's own controlled sea corridor, through which about 60 million tonnes of agricultural products were exported.

At the same time, according to analytical data, we can expect difficult conditions for foreign trade in 2025. This is primarily due to a possible change in the rules of the game for Ukraine in the EU market, namely the terms of preferential trade.
The European Commission has already started negotiations with Ukraine on this issue.

🇺🇸🇺🇦The Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy expresses its strong support for the continued cooperation between Ukraine and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The programmes implemented and operated with USAID assistance are essential for strengthening democratic institutions, developing independent media and civil society in Ukraine.

While the audit is ongoing, Ukraine must take prompt action to avoid destabilising key processes in the country.

At the parliamentary level, consultations have already begun with European colleagues on the possible replacement of US aid — at least until final decisions are made in Washington.

The assistance of the United States Agency for International Development is an important part of our path to democratic development and sustainability. Therefore, we emphasise the need to maintain these projects to ensure further progress in the country's development.

📌The importance of historical education for democracy and the fight against disinformation, especially in the context of russia's war against Ukraine.

This is the first point of the resolution "Multiple perspectives in preserving memory and history for democratic citizenship", which was supported by PACE. According to Mariia Mezentseva-Fedorenko, the Head of the Verkhovna Rada's Permanent Delegation to PACE, the resolution also includes:

🔹 the importance of including controversial parts of history in the curriculum;
🔹timely response of the education system to changes in society, etc.

The Permanent Delegation of the Verkhovna Rada to PACE submitted proposals to the resolution, which were supported.

The resolution emphasises the use of history by the russian federation as a tool of russification, "presenting distorted historical narratives to deported Ukrainian children, designed to erase their cultural identity and legitimise aggression by distorting historical facts".

🇺🇦🇬🇧 Expanding the training programme for Ukrainian military and law enforcement officers and strengthening parliamentary cooperation in the security and defence sector.

This was discussed during a meeting in London between the Chairman of the Committee on Law Enforcement Serhii Ionushas and the Chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Friendship Group of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland with Ukraine John Whittingdale.

They also discussed humanitarian, financial and military assistance, accountability for sanctions violations, and strengthening cooperation in the area of justice and prosecution.

My sincere thanks to John Whittingdale! He has made a lot of efforts to harmonise relations between the parliaments of Ukraine and the UK, as well as to increase the volume of British technical and military assistance, —

noted Serhii Ionushas.

📍The European Union is planning new economic restrictions that will seriously hit the russian economy. In particular, the decisions will be aimed at reducing the kremlin's financial capabilities and limiting its influence on European markets.

This was announced by Vadym Halaichuk, the First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Ukraine's Integration with the European Union.

The EU plans to impose duties on agricultural products and nitrogen fertilisers from russia and belarus. This is an important step, as it reduces export revenues for moscow and minsk, and helps to strengthen the European agricultural sector, including Ukrainian producers who can replace these goods on the EU market, —

said the parliamentarian.

In addition, Brussels will propose a phased ban on imports of russian aluminium. russian aluminium has been used in many European industries so far, and blocking it could significantly reduce the kremlin's revenues, which are used to finance the war.

I visited the Bilokrynytsia territorial community in the Rivne region and met with its Head, Tetiana Honcharuk.

The community has a Safety Centre with an interactive classroom for preschool children to teach them important life skills, including how to act in a dangerous situation.

Together with Tetiana
and colleagues from the Committee on State Power, Local Self-Government, Regional Development and Urban Planning, Vitalii Bezhin, Oleksandr Aliksiichuk, as well as Arsenii Pushkarenko and Oleksandr Saliichuk, we discussed the future strategy of the Bilokrynytsia community and the questions to be addressed to the central government.

Thank you for this example of a truly successful Ukrainian hromada ( community) that is approaching the best European practices!

During a working visit to Rivne region, I found out about the activities of Goshcha Sausages, namely production, implemented technologies, use of European equipment and work strategy.

The company has installed a grid-tied solar power plant that produces 500 kW of power and 550 MWh of annual generation. This means the following: own electricity and great savings, which allows the company to increase its capacity many times over.

We discussed with the management the development of Ukrainian entrepreneurship in the current environment. At all levels, we understand that this is one of the most important tasks. After all, their success is, among other things, the support of the economic sector.

Domestic producers continue to work, create jobs and move towards implementing the best solutions for prosperity.
