Reva assures that participants of ATO will raise pensions

To date, in the old law, pensioners who are in the ATU zone and serve in Kiev have the same pension. The government intends to change this in the new adopted law.

On Wednesday, during a meeting of the defense committee, the Minister of Social Policy, Andrei Reva. He also recalled that even now the military servicemen who serve in the ATU zone receive a salary twice as big as those who serve in the capital.

However, when transferring pensions, this is not taken into account and the participants of the ATO receive the same pension, the minister explained..

However, Reva noted that this situation can be changed only after the adoption of a new law on pensions.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, previously Andrew Reva said that the reform of pension provision of military personnel will increase the size of their pensions by 77% and take into account the interests of combatants.
