At the beginning of the meeting, Dmytro Razumkov greeted everyone who joined the gathering and thanked for the invitation and organization of the event: "Thank you to the General Directorate for Servicing Foreign Missions for this meeting and, in particular, to the management of the Media Center, where we are gathered today. The company's activity is extremely important as it is related to work on the international level. The General Directorate for Servicing Foreign Missions is efficient as it operates within our state and for its benefit. Thanks to everyone who is working today: whether it's business or politics, we understand that the issue with human capital is currently critical. It's great that young people are staying in Ukraine. And it's important that after the war, it is the youth who will start developing our country."
The communication between the speaker and the students took place in a "question-answer" format. In particular, Dmytro Alexandrovich talked about his development as a state official and his own professional path in politics, the advantages and challenges of working in the political sector and as the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and communication with various political forces. They also discussed the directions for post-war development of Ukraine; the impossibility of holding elections at the European level; Ukraine's energy base, including the idea of introducing small nuclear reactors as an alternative to thermal power plants; creating jobs and social incentives for youth, finding ways to bring them back to Ukraine; the importance of diplomatic work; Ukraine's NATO accession; the state's actions to positively influence Ukraine's image in the world; the differences between political and state activities; the development and support of small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine; strengthening sanctions against the aggressor country and negotiations on the exchange of prisoners; grain deals; the imperfection of the law on mobilization; criminal liability for state treason; the economic situation in Ukraine; startups for youth, and so on.
At the end of the event, the students thanked Dmytro Razumkov for his constructive responses. To conclude the meeting, they took a group photo as a memento of the active communication.
