Groisman: raising pensions is a systemic and permanent measure

The head of the Ukrainian government, Volodymyr Groisman, noted that the increase of pensions from July 1(the 5^th one since October 2017), is a systemic measure to take place on an ongoing basis. This was reported by the Prime Minister on the TV channel ICTV.

Groisman also highlighted that thecurrent increase of pensions has nothing to do with the parliamentary elections, and the premiums will not be canceled after the elections.

“In any case nothing is going to be cancelled. A year ago I promised to solve this problem in 2019 (small salaries and pensions with a long job tenure -Ed.). Therefore, the July’s decision is on a permanent basis, it is a systemic measure”, the premier empathized.
