Kyiv. Increasing salaries and pensions in Ukraine is impossible now due to military actions in the east of the country, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told a government session on Saturday, TASS reported.
“At the moment, the country does not have resources for this as all resources are spent on defense, security, army, tanks, weapons, on strengthening security, building a border,” he said.
The Ukrainian army is “the first priority” for Ukraine, Yatsenyuk said, adding that 5.2% of the GDP is spent on defense.
