According to the information, as of the beginning of April 2025, there are 10,331,375 pensioners in Ukraine. This is almost 177,000 less than in April 2024.
The average pension after the annual indexation increased to UAH 6,341, which is 10% more than last year. However, inflation for this period was 14.6%, so pension payments even decreased.
