Mykhailo Podoliak, the adviser to the head of the President’s office, said that Volodymyr Zelensky should go for a second presidential term in order to complete work on many programs.
‘I am a supporter of the idea that resident Zelensky should definitely have a second term, because a lot of programs that have been launched must be completed. And it is not only about those related to the war, but also about the transformation of the state system,’ Podoliak said.
He added that it is about forming the land market, reducing bureaucracy, changing the law enforcement system and the system of attitudes to corruption, and eliminating the oligarchy.
‘Such global processes will mean the integration of Ukraine into a completely different political, economic, and security space,’ the adviser explained.
Podoliak emphasized that Zelensky himself will make the decision on a possible second term. Earlier, the adviser stated that elections in Ukraine are possible only after the end of the war.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
