Representatives of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine (FPU) are rallying outside the office of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Kyiv protesting against restrictions on social maintenance envisaged in a memorandum with the Fund.

Around 100 people are taking part in the rally, the police reported.

According to the statement, the obligations undertaken by the Ukrainian authorities for crediting from IMF will destroy the social protection system of Ukraine.

The FPU also intends to address the International Labor Organization and the International Confederation of Free Trade Organizations with a request to send their experts to Ukraine to evaluate the current situation.
