KYIV, Feb 26 – Pensioners living on minimum pension will receive compensation for unpaid indexing for 2015-2016 in the amount of UAH 2,410 in March and April, President Petro Poroshenko has said.
"In 2015-2016, when the state gave every kopeck of the Pension Fund for building the Armed Forces and defending the state, then the decision was absolutely justified that there was no possibility for indexing pensions... We now found opportunities to return the indexation of 2015-2016 to pensioners and, first of all, to those who has the lowest level of pension – the minimum and below the minimum ones. According to estimates, we have reached the figure of UAH 2,410," Poroshenko said at a meeting in the Pension Fund of Ukraine in Kyiv on Monday.
