Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Reintegration Irina Vereshchuk, following an interdepartmental meeting on payments to citizens who now live in temporarily occupied territories, announced an audit of the feasibility of continuing certain payments.
“There are payments that require revision from the point of view of social justice and political expediency. That is, we need to look again at how justified it is to continue payments,” Vereshchuk noted.
She emphasized that the state continues to pay certain categories of teachers, doctors and employees of state-owned enterprises, as well as displaced persons in the temporarily occupied territories.
Also, according to her, payments of subsidies and benefits to citizens in the temporarily occupied territories continue, despite the fact that the provision of public services does not actually occur.
“We are not talking about canceling payments yet. We are talking about revision and assessment of feasibility from the point of view of current reality. Based on the results of the audit, some payments may be terminated or suspended,” Vereshchuk noted.
According to her, in the near future the related ministries and departments will conduct a corresponding audit and provide working proposals.
- On August 31, Vereshchuk reported that almost 180,000 Ukrainian citizens were “erroneously” receiving payments as internally displaced persons. On September 1, the state stopped paying these people.
- Read the list of criteria by which payments to some displaced persons were stopped as of September 1.
