In May, some pensioners will not receive payments: what is the reason

In Ukraine, war veterans and victims of Nazi persecution received payments in May every year. However, this year such citizens will not receive one-time assistance.

The Verkhovna Rada wants to make a corresponding decision. This is reported by " Retired ".

It is noted that they want to postpone the payments until the Independence Day of Ukraine - on August 24.

"Every year before the Independence Day of Ukraine, the participants of hostilities are paid a one-time cash payment in the order and amounts determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine within the limits of the relevant budget allocations established by the Law on the State Budget of Ukraine," the comparative table of the document states.
