During April, Ukraine will automatically recalculate pension payments for those pensioners who continue to work. The process will take into account the increased length of service, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said during a government meeting on March 28.

According to him, the increase in pensions will affect about 600,000 citizens.. Additional age-related payments previously initiated by President Volodymyr Zelensky will also remain..

Shmyhal recalled that in March, the Cabinet of Ministers held the second indexation of pensions during Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, increasing their size by almost 20% - an average of about 600 hryvnias..

According to the prime minister, the changes affected 10.5 million people. The average pension in our state is now 5200 UAH.

The government additionally increased payments to military pensioners and liquidators of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. For them, pensions increased by more than a thousand hryvnias on average..

“We understand that citizens of retirement age need special support during the war, so we found resources, indexed pensions, extended additional payments, provide subsidies and benefits. We help everyone who needs it,"

Earlier, the expert explained why payments for some pensioners remained unchanged or increased slightly after the indexation carried out in March.
