He noted that the fulfillment of social obligations remains a key indicator of the stability and capacity of the state.
"Not once in more than 1000 days of the full-scale war have we delayed social payments. This will continue to be the case," the Prime Minister stressed.
"The Pension Fund has completed the payment of pensions for May in a timely manner. Almost UAH 68 billion has already been received by Ukrainian pensioners," Shmyhal said.
He added that in May, the government also allocated UAH 3.1 billion for subsidies and benefits.
"In total, UAH 213 billion was allocated from the state budget for social programs in the first four months of this year, which is 14% more than last year," Shmyhal said.
