Klitschko: Ukraine needs a realistic and effective national post-pandemic strategy
29.01.2021
Klitschko stated that this year’s Davos agenda was dedicated to economic, environmental, social and technological challenges that the world confronts amid the coronavirus pandemic crisis. “It is fully understandable that now we are staying focused on protecting the health and lives of the Ukrainians. With this in mind, the Kyiv authority plans to purchase a vaccine to vaccinate the most vulnerable Kyivans,” he wrote. “At the same time I truly believe that we urgently need to discuss how Ukraine can develop further bouncing back from the pandemic,” he stressed.
He outlined key aspects of such discussion, which are how to improve public health care, how to accelerate structural changes in the economy in line with the new way the business operates worldwide today, how to make the environment more sustainable and healthier.
“Kyiv tackles those challenges locally, but it is clear that we need a realistic and effective national strategy to address them. And we already need to step up our efforts to develop it as soon as possible to make sure Ukraine will respond to those challenges most efficiently and develop to become a successful European country,” wrote Klitschko.
