Proposed targets by 2030:
🎯50% children under 3 years
🎯96% children age 3 to school starting age.

It is high time to care about care!
Care is the fabric that holds our societies together, across all generations & the full life cycle.
It has to be:
✅ Available
✅ Accessible
✅ Affordable
✅ of appropriate Quality

Today I congratulated Volodymir #Zelenskiy personally in #Kyiv to his impressive victory to become President of #Ukraine which gives him a very strong mandate to fight against corruption + for „de-oligarchisation“. 1/3
I offered the #President elect full #EU support f. all the reforms that benefit #Ukrainian citizens! #Ukraine faces many challenges and threats and all #Ukrainian authorities - President, Government and @verkhovna_rada - have now to act in the most responsible manner. 2/3
This means to ensure that in the current #transition period +ahead of #Parliamentary elections urgent #reforms are not stalled, but accelerated to ensure financial+economic stability (incl the guarantee of internat. financial suppport +energy supply).No time to be wasted! 3/3
I congratulate Ukraine on the appointment of judges to the High Anti-Corruption Court, done in a very transparent way. I’m glad that international experts could help in their selection. I wish them many successful prosecutions. We had discussed this issue with Pavlo Petrenko
