Quote from Lytvynenko: "The president has set very important tasks - to ensure more effective work of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff and to strengthen analytical support for the decisions of the state leadership. And an extremely important topic is the development of the Ukrainian Doctrine, i.e. planning for the future after the war."

Details: He said that "when we plan, we connect people with each other; we create a common vision."

"Another of our tasks is to launch a moderated dialogue on the development of the vision. It is the task of the head of state to promote the formation of a public consensus."

Lytvynenko also noted that "they want to launch a national discussion on the basis of the National Institute for Strategic Studies. The Institute should facilitate this process."
