In Ukraine, they can restore the "Glass of Milk" program, which operates in many European countries and once existed in several regions of Ukraine. This was discussed during a Skype meeting between the wife of the president, Olena Zelenska, and the head of the Cherkasy region, Roman Bodnar.

In particular, during the conversation, the course of preparation of the pilot project, which aims to ensure a sufficient amount of dairy and sour-milk products in the children's diet, was discussed.

Since the "Glass of Milk" program demonstrated its effectiveness and positive impact on children's health, it was proposed to restore it.

Cherkasy region volunteered to become a pilot region for the implementation of such a project and has already started its development.

In addition, the wishes of the parents, who asked that the schoolchildren's diet include not only whole milk, but also fermented milk products, were not ignored. Therefore, we decided not to limit the project to a specific category of products, but to work comprehensively on the introduction of balanced nutrition.

For his part, Roman Bodnar emphasized the need to focus on the technical equipment of canteens, in particular food units. So, according to the agreement, the project plan will be written in February, taking into account the details. Further, it will be coordinated by the relevant ministries.
