Security and mental health: Zelenska named the formula for post-war reconstruction of Ukraine
The formula for Ukraine’s postwar reconstruction consists of three main aspects. Among them are security, rebuilding infrastructure, and Ukrainians’ physical and mental recovery.
Olena Zelenska spoke about this during her speech at the second summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen in Kyiv.
– Our recovery formula can be composed of three main parts. And the first one is the most important – safety. So that rockets and bombs stop coming to peaceful cities. Because we can rebuild an infinite number of times, and there will be destruction again. The first thing is a closed sky and peace. The second is rebuilding so that people have somewhere to come back to. Restored infrastructure and rebuilt hospitals and schools. And the third aspect is the physical and mental recovery of Ukrainians, – said the First Lady of Ukraine.
Zelenska noted that a national psychological recovery program was founded to treat mental wounds in Ukraine.
– I want it to work, and we showed our working model to the world. Because unfortunately, there are no fewer crises in the world, terrible events that affect people. And now Ukraine has a chance to do something to help not only itself but also the whole world, – she said.
Zelenska added that an additional lever in this formula is speed. The First Lady stressed that it would be too late if we didn’t start rebuilding now.
