Pavel Rudyakov, director of the Perspektiva information and analytical center, expressed this opinion at a press conference in Kiev, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“You don’t have to be an economist to figure out that the acceleration of the devaluation of the hryvnia and the rise in prices, including for fuel, is directly or indirectly (most likely directly) related to the increase in pensions. They spent a certain amount of money to increase pensions for 3-4 million people, and now this money is taking 25 million or however many of us left out of their pockets. The state policy of shifting the main economic burdens and difficulties onto the shoulders of the population continues,” he said.
