DISINFO: The IMF forces Ukraine to cancel pensions
Despite Russia's war against Ukraine, the country will not cancel social spending. Payments of pensions and social benefits are a priority for Ukraine. The Government of Ukraine has repeatedly emphasized that payments of pensions, salaries, as well as financing of education, medicine and the military sector are protected expenditure items of the Ukrainian budget, which are carried out on time and in full.
At the same time, Ukraine, together with the International Monetary Fund, plans to continue the reform of the country's pension system. This is stated in the Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policy with the IMF dated March 22, 2024 (page 95).
