Volodymyr Zelenskyy: It is politically and geopolitically important for us to support and develop Zakarpattia

Zakarpattia is a beautiful part of the Ukrainian state, and it is very important to support and develop this region, as stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a conversation with media representatives within a working trip to the Zakarpattia region.

"It was very important for us politically and geopolitically to invest money, and next year we will complete the construction of a complex large hospital in Berehove. Hungarians are our neighbors, and we need to find common ground, we must always find dialogue. But it is important for us that we build hospitals there. We are investing in Ukraine," the Head of State said during a conversation with media representatives in Zakarpattia.

In addition, according to Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kyrylo Tymoshenko, the Verkhovna Rada approved amendments to the state budget for 2020, which will provide UAH 300 million for the construction of a perinatal center in the region.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed that Zakarpattia is an important part of Ukraine, not just a place at the border with developed Europe.

"Zakarpattia is a beautiful part of our unitary state. Indeed, there was no infrastructure, no hospitals. I know that about 30 kindergartens are missing,” he said, assuring that these issues would be resolved in a few years.
