Leading IED researcher Alexander Bethie spoke about the main problems of the system.

The current system is very complicated. It consists of 10 different subsystems for calculating pensions, 55 types of allowances and about 100 surcharges. People with the same insurance experience can receive various pensions depending on the year of retirement. For example, a 2015 pensioner will receive 5 thousand dollars and 2021 – 9 thousand dollars.

Former security officers also have high pensions, while the military who currently protect Ukraine do not have the same advantages from the difference in laws.
