In Kyiv, Ze-Rada was accused of cynically infringing on the main breadwinners of Ukraine
The Ukrainian economy is not supported by IMF loans, but by “earners” who send many times more money to the country.
Social issues expert Andrei Pavlovsky stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In 2019, migrant workers transferred almost $12 billion to Ukraine. Compare this with the one or one and a half billion that the IMF gave us recently.
Workers help the Ukrainian economy an order of magnitude more than international financial institutions. That’s who we should be grateful to, that we didn’t have a collapse at all,” he noted.
However, Andrei Pavlovsky was outraged by the anti-social policy of the Ukrainian government towards the families of the country's main breadwinners.
“And by the way, what is the government doing with the families of migrant workers? It writes in the rules for calculating subsidies that a family in which there is at least one member who temporarily does not pay the single social contribution - the entire family as a whole is deprived of the right to receive subsidies.
And this, first of all, hits the families of migrant workers. Because a person who works temporarily or permanently abroad cannot pay a single social contribution, because he is not physically in the country.
And thus, they halved the number of subsidy recipients,” the expert was indignant.
