Review of administrative division

Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has proposed significantly changing the structure of state governance. In a YouTube video, he emphasised that the country would have to be "reassembled in a new way" for further development. The former minister named the rejection of the Soviet model of territorial organisation as one of his key initiatives.

According to Kuleba, new administrative units should be formed taking into account the historical development of Ukrainian lands. He named Volyn, Galicia, Zaporizhzhia, Sloboda Ukraine, and Severshchyna among the potential regions. The politician also proposed consolidating these units to simplify the governance process.

Balance of power and judicial reform

At the same time, Dmytro Kuleba does not believe that Ukraine needs a completely new model of power organisation. He considers the current parliamentary-presidential system generally functional, but notes the need to review certain powers. The former minister opposes a strong presidential model where the head of state unilaterally makes all decisions.

«Я не вважаю, що нинішня модель дисфункціональна» (I do not believe that the current model is dysfunctional), Kuleba stated.

He paid particular attention to the issue of political influence on institutions. In his view, it is necessary to reduce pressure on the Prosecutor General, judges, the Supreme Court, and the Constitutional Court. To achieve the independence of these bodies, the politician proposes establishing clear rules for their operation.

Focus on the domestic economy

In the economic sphere, Dmytro Kuleba advises focusing on supporting and reviving Ukrainian entrepreneurship. He emphasised that without sustainable internal development, external aid would be insufficient. The former minister also named the active implementation of artificial intelligence technologies among the priorities.

Reflecting on the strategy for the next 20 years, Kuleba stated that he has become more open to reviewing the fundamentals of state functioning.
