Ukrainian authorities have warned citizens about the future reduction of pensions, which has ceased to exceed the living wage level. Deputy Minister of Social Policy Natalya Nenyuchenko, which quotes the edition of "Explorer", explained by the presence of such a forecast limited financial resources, the solidarity pension system, shadow employment, shadow wage payments.
"The economic situation in Ukraine, we can estimate, as a very disturbing. It is directly linked to the, that the state of the country is getting worse every year. The new government failed to restart the economy of the state for the sake of its further development and increase the level of GDP growth, which is now, probably, not more than 0% ", - said the expert.
To improve the situation at the expense of Western aid
In Ukraine, continues to decrease the level of life of the citizens due to the growth of tariffs for housing and communal services, increase in the prices of products and the reduction of pensions and cost of living doubled compared to last year. By the way, the price of gas has increased tenfold because of, that the Ukrainian authorities had received new loans from the IMF and tried to cover up the alleged price increase unprofitable contract "Naftohaz" with "Gazprom". AT 2018 , the country was on the 112 place in the world in terms of population.

However, foreign friends of the state already reluctant to provide financial assistance to Ukraine, because they do not believe, that the country will be able to compensate for it ", - said the analyst.
economic situation Complication, says expert, a direct impact on the vulnerable categories of citizens - pensioners, poor citizens, public employees.
"The increase in pensions due to the growth of economy, but we are seeing in this case the opposite. Despite, that power is perfectly sees, it does nothing. Enough time has passed for the presidential administration Vladimir Zelensky, but its work was unproductive ", - stated Topornin.
Uncertainty: what to do Ukraine
Nikolai Topornin sure, that make a difference and send it in a positive manner will help the country's economic development program, which is necessary to the creation of the Presidential Administration do now.
"It is not clear plan will, nothing will change. It will only get worse. Besides, Now Ukraine is not even helping investors, are very negative about the outlook for their investments. If there was a program, it would become clearer, what steps the government intends to take the Ukrainian ", - said the source.
According to the analyst, Ukraine now have nothing to close the formed hole - has lost relevance transfer of some enterprises in private hands, as well as the implementation of the land.
"The sale of land for the development of some private organizations has caused a wave of indignation in society. Therefore, the idea and it remained impossible. other assets, that could bring income, not found.
The complexity observed with energy - they are among the options, unable to make a positive impact on the situation ", - added Topornin.
However, President Vladimir Zelensky no hurry to organize work, which could push the economy Bucs.
"Here we see a repetition of past problems, which allowed Petro Poroshenko. During his reign, people began to live worse, than with Viktor Yanukovych. Direct evidence of this is the massive outflow of Ukrainians to work in the European Union. Many simply leave and do not come back, as the situation in Ukraine does not change.
Meanwhile, the administration of the current president is actively involved in internal conflicts, turning a blind eye to the acute social problems. Around Vladimir Zelensky talk about the state of the economy is constantly maintained, but it is more important problems, although now it is the time, when the government needs to show themselves. The Ukrainian people have become less trusting of government, ratings fall. AND, if nothing changes, the next election will end in tears for Zelensky - he will receive the same percentage, how Poroshenko 2019 year and will be replaced by ", - summed up the expert.
