During his working visit to the Kirovohrad region, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with business representatives within the framework of the Made in Ukraine economic platform.
The Head of State has thanked all the warriors from this region and the enterprises that support them with their work.
“This is very important. This is the value of your region, its restoration. Today, I see the resumption of production. We see that enterprises are increasing employment opportunities,” he said.
The President noted that the Ministry of Economy and entrepreneurs are discussing business support programs and stressed that there should be more such initiatives.
First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Yuliia Svyrydenko noted that this year UAH 850 million has been allocated for the Kirovohrad region under the Made in Ukraine initiative. The more actively businesses apply for support programs, the more funds they will be able to receive.
In addition, Yuliia Svyrydenko announced that the Government has today approved the launch of the President's National Cashback initiative. It will be available to Ukrainians next month.
During the meeting with entrepreneurs, the parties discussed the possibility of involving Ukrainian manufacturers in the completion of the Khmelnytskyi NPP, the program of partial compensation for the cost of domestic agricultural machinery and equipment, and the development of localization of engineering and construction equipment production.
Additionally, in Kropyvnytskyi, Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited an enterprise that produces agricultural machinery, including sowing complexes, seeders, cultivators, disc harrows, loaders, and sprayers.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke with the company's employees and noted that their work also brings Ukraine closer to victory.
“We need to save our country. This requires a fair end to the war. We are definitely bringing it closer. The military on the front, people like you. We are working on it. We really want this,” he emphasized.
