President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during a visit to Sumy on Tuesday, September 8, explained why he travels across the country inspecting the facilities of the Major Construction Project.

“I am the president of the whole country. For me, Sumy is the same city as Kiev, Krivoy Rog and Lvov. Like any city in Ukraine. I don’t care about the programs we are implementing. I don’t care what is with them. When I say we are building 100 miles of roads in the Sumy region, I don’t care … so I have an answer for the people, “Zelensky said.
