Kyiv • UNN
The war in Ukraine has increased the level of poverty and set the country back 16 years in addressing this issue, said Halyna Tretyakova, chairwoman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Social Policy and Veterans' Rights.
The poverty rate has increased in Ukraine, and the war has thrown us back 16 years in addressing this issue. This was stated by Galyna Tretiakova, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Social Policy and Veterans' Rights, on the sidelines of the High Level Conference on the European Social Charter in Vilnius, UNN correspondent reports.
"We have a catastrophic ratio of people who are considered poor. In fact, the war has thrown us back 16 years in terms of overcoming the problem of poverty," says Tretyakova.
Recall
Due to the excessive number of obligations related to social payments and the inability to support them with financial resources, the Ministry of Social Affairs will revise the "philosophy" of social payments.
