Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) has restricted pensions to working pensioners by 15 percent by January 1, 2016.
A total of 238 lawmakers supported the relative bill at the parliamentary session on March 2. The bill was endorsed by the fifth try.
Social Policy Minister Pavlo Rozenko said such urgent measures were taken since Pension Fund of Ukraine is short of Hr 80 billion for well-time payment of pensions to Ukrainian pensioners.
