✦ AI Summary
- A significant number of Ukrainians are without pension payments
- Bureaucratic obstacles at the Ministry of Social Policy are to blame
- The issues stem from complex procedures and lack of data integration
Over 169,000 Ukrainians have lost their pension payments due to bureaucratic hurdles within the Ministry of Social Policy, according to Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets. Many individuals have not received their pensions for months, despite being eligible.
The delays are attributed not to the inefficiency of the Pension Fund employees but to the complicated procedures and insufficient cooperation between state registries, along with unresolved decisions by the Cabinet and Ministry of Social Policy. As of late 2025, over 1,033,574 individuals were receiving pensions, which dropped to 989,479 by April 2026.
