Together with Zelenskyy, the head of the Office of President Andriy Yermak and the head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration Maksym Kozytskyy visited the Ukrainian Catholic University.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with the rector of the Ukrainian Catholic University Bohdan Prakh.
The rector told Zelenskyy about the history of the formation of the UCU, adding that the University's main goal was for "UCU graduates to go out into the world: into government, public organizations, business, and social spheres, and to scale the university's influence – on the ground to implement changes and build a renewed Ukraine”.
