I'm not doing this because I need to.

As an entrepreneur, I can do something completely different.
I'm doing this because you asked.

Ukrainians have already given the world something it has long had
there was no.
We gave the spirit of a winner. The spirit of a warrior-hero who protects but has a kind heart.
The world saw what dignity, courage, and the willingness to stand to the end meant. It has already become part of history.

Now our next battle is economic.
Without economic security, there will be no strong state, no stable life for people, and no future for our children.

But now a different moment has come. Heroism alone is not enough to make a country strong in 10, 20, 30 years.

I will speak to you directly and without illusions. Ukraine will not be allowed to endlessly build up its military power.
This is not betrayal or fear. This is the reality of the world we live in.

But there is a power that no one can forbid us.
It is an economic and intellectual force.

It is she who determines,
Will the country be independent?
Will it have money for defense?
Will it be able to provide a decent life for its people?

This is how Korea was built. This is how Singapore was built.
This is how Israel and Germany rose.
Not through slogans. But through economics, knowledge, and partnership between the state and business.

And here I want to tell you something very important.

I didn't come to promise an easy path. I know how hard it is.
in Ukraine to build, create and protect the result.
I know how hard it is to create something honest. I know how many times you and I have been deceived.
I know how the system resists.
That's why I don't propose faith in words. I propose the unification of people.
I know it will be difficult for us.

So if you are looking for the easy way out, don't join.
If you are expecting quick results, don't join.
If you want someone else to do everything for you,
don't join.

But if you, like me, feel that:

— for years we have been deliberately divided and set against each other
— decisions about the future are often made without people
— family, work, and dignity must have a solid economic foundation

then this is about us.

Because the state is not an abstraction.
The state is you and me.
The state is our families.

And everything that divides us and pushes us into conflict is misguided.

We must be smarter and more pragmatic than those who are used to solving everything through force or backroom deals.

Do you agree with me?

The world speaks a universal language — the language of money.
And if we do not build our own economic strength, someone else will always decide for us.

Our path is:

a strong economy
our own energy
modern technologies and knowledge
and, most importantly, people’s control over what is being built

Our reward is not immediate. But it is real.

Our dream is simple and mature:
a country where the economy works for people.
Where jobs exist at home, not only abroad.
Where retirement is not about survival.
Where the state has resources instead of constantly asking for help.

A country that is respected not through fear,
but through strength, capital, and intelligence.
