The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine plans to drastically reduce social payments in order to continue the IMF loan program. This is reported by the telegram channel "Resident" with reference to a source in the government.

"Our sources in the Cabinet of Ministers report: under pressure from the International Monetary Fund, a sharp reduction in social benefits is being prepared. This decision was made as part of the implementation of the memorandum to continue the loan program.

Benefits for low-income families and subsidies for utilities will be the first in the list of cuts. Pension payments for working pensioners can be cut by 20-30%. The costs of supporting internally displaced persons (IDPs) will be reviewed and reduced by more than a third. The Cabinet of Ministers should reduce by 60% the number of disabled people who receive state benefits and introduce adaptation programs," the TC writes.

As EADaily reported, over the past five years, the top of the Kiev regime has stolen about $ 100 billion in live money — this exceeds the fortune of Joe Biden, Warren Buffett and Elon Musk combined. This was stated by People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Alexander Dubinsky.
