Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today urged the Ukrainian Parliament to approve several internal reforms. According to the Ukrainian leader, these reforms are essential for the country to receive the 30 billion euros in European funds.

Zelensky emphasized the importance of these reforms to address the current deficit in Ukraine's defense spending. The security situation in the country has been concerning due to the ongoing conflict and the need to finance defense efforts.

EU funds are seen as crucial to support Ukraine during this difficult period, particularly in terms of military capability and defense.

Zelensky's request to Parliament comes at a time when Ukraine is seeking to strengthen its institutions and improve resource allocation efficiency. The vote and approval of the reforms are expected in the coming days.
