The BYT-Batkivschyna faction in the Verkhovna Rada will not vote for the pension reform proposed by the government, faction leader Ivan Kyrylenko told journalists in Dnepropetrovsk on Feb.10.

"I know exactly that our faction in the Verkhovna Rada won’t give a single vote for the proposed pension reform. We will do everything possible to prevent this from happening. And we will find arguments to convince others," Kyrylenko said.

According to the MP, contrary to the expectations, the authorities started the reform not with the fundamental things, but with minor issues. "First of all, you need to launch the reforms in the economy," Kyrylenko.
