KYIV, Dec 12 – President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has outlined five components of the formula for the future of Ukraine: achieving peace, effective institutions and transparent rules of the game, investment, new infrastructure and democracy, and promises that in all these areas the pace of change will only increase in 2020.

"The formula for the future for Ukraine consists of five components. And the first of them is, of course, peace. There can be no development without peace. Therefore, we won't drag this out, we won't wait until a peaceful solution falls out of the sky, before foreign partners bring it to us on a silver platter. We want peace on our terms," he wrote in his article "Forward and Upward," which will be published in a special issue of New Time (Novoe Vremya) magazine on December 12, entitled "Peace in 2020."
