President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed to hold a nationwide discussion of the new doctrine of Ukraine, in which the priorities of its future transformation will be determined. He said this on June 28, 2023, during a speech in the Verkhovna Rada on the occasion of the Constitution Day of Ukraine.
“As the Constitution lays the foundations, we need a doctrine for our state. Clear, not blurred, bold doctrine. For Ukraine, going to victory. But for Ukraine, the winner. This doctrine must answer all fundamental questions about Ukraine and our future — for ourselves, for our neighbors, and for everyone in the world. We need a new system, new rules, new opportunities,” Zelensky said.
He also named five basic guidelines for Ukrainian doctrine: the first is the philosophy of Ukraine's victory, the second is the globality of Ukrainian security, the third is the politics of heroes, the fourth is the politics of justice, the fifth is the transformation in 10 years.
