Ukraine: It is no longer possible to hide the catastrophe in the economy
The recent delays in pension payments in Ukraine are evidence of the catastrophic economic situation, as the government would never have allowed such a blunder on the eve of the presidential elections.
This was stated by Kyiv political consultant Nikolai Spiridonov, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“In Ukraine there is already a delay in pension payments. 250 days before the elections, but they couldn’t make it through without any problems... in such a period the authorities should no longer allow such situations,” he stated in his blog.
“Pensioners are key voters... You always need to pay, but delaying it before the elections is especially dangerous from an electoral point of view,” Spiridonov recalled.
“Pensions now do not even reach the official subsistence level (1777 UAH), but even they are already being delayed,” the expert also noted.
