About this in his Facebook said Deputy Minister of Justice Sergei Petukhov.

According to Petukhov, the ECHR confirmed that Ukraine had done everything possible to provide social benefits to residents of the occupied Donbass.

The ECHR found that in connection with the ongoing armed conflict in the Donbas, the Ukrainian government can not physically pay pensions on a temporarily uncontrolled part of the country. In this case, this is not a violation of the Human Rights Convention.

As previously reported, URA-Inform, the Minister of Social Policy, Andrei Reva, said that the payment of pensions to residents in the uncontrolled territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions can begin after the introduction of the United Nations peacekeeping mission.
