Details: The head of state said Ukraine should create the strongest mental and physical rehabilitation sector in Europe, and this will involve both building rehabilitation centres and training the relevant personnel.

All the world's best practices and solutions, no matter how difficult or unusual they may be, should be applied in Ukraine so that no Ukrainian citizen has to endure the pain, stress and trauma of war, Zelenskyy emphasised.

Quote: "In particular, we must finally honestly legalise cannabis-based medicine for everyone who needs it, [with] the relevant scientific research and controlled Ukrainian manufacturing."
