Wage arrears in Kyiv fell by three times this year, Kyiv Prosecutor Mykola Beskyshky has said.

better effectiveness of response through criminal law measures. This is
almost Hr 112 million ($14 million) paid to people,” the press service of the Kyiv
Prosecutor’s Office reported.
The prosecutor also noted that in 2012 the prosecuting agencies in
