Zelensky calls on parliament and government to pass urgent budget legislation

President Zelensky addressed the nation, stressing that Ukraine cannot afford delays in passing a specific list of laws and government decisions needed to bridge one outlet budget gap. He warned that the measures, some of which are politically sensitive, are a prerequisite for continued payments and for unlocking funds from abroad. Zelensky called on the Verkhovna Rada, the executive, and all parliamentary factions to cooperate rather than pursue partisan preferences.

He noted that Ukraine's ability to meet its international commitments hinges on the swift adoption of these bills. Discussions among parliamentary leaders, government officials, and faction representatives have already focused on the financing legislation. The president framed the issue as a matter of national survival, not political choice.
