The Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine spoke about this on air on the 112 Ukraine TV channel.
Andrey Reva.
“If today we have about 1 million 200 thousand pensioners living in the territory that was temporarily occupied, if the average pension in Ukraine today is 1 UAH, in Donbass it was higher, somewhere around 700 UAH, that’s about 2000 billion UAH per year only for pensions,” the minister admitted.
According to the Minister of Social Policy, Donbass throughout the years of independence was an economically self-sufficient region that contained other regions of Ukraine.
“Nobody supported Donbass – neither Ukraine nor Russia. Donbass was an economically self-sufficient region, moreover, a donor region,” he emphasized.
