Social policy expert and former MP Andriy Pavlovsky wrote about this on his Facebook page.

“Comment on the leak of information about the Ministry of Finance’s proposals for the state budget for next year:

1. Freezing social standards at the current level until the end of 2016, that is, the minimum wage, pension, scholarship, and other social benefits remain at the level of September 2015 (for example, the minimum salary until the end of 2016 will be 1 UAH)

2. Abolition of pensions for all working pensioners (and not just for deputies, judges, prosecutors, etc., as now), however, pensioners go to work part-time not because of a good life, but because they do not have enough for the basic necessities for survival;

3. Cancellation of the payment of benefits for the birth of a child, everything is clear here, the government has already solved the problem of the birth rate,” the people’s deputy wrote.
