According to the Vice Prime Minister, the negotiation process is quite difficult, because the Ukrainian side continues to insist on his vision of the situation.
We will remind, before mass media reported that the IMF has put forward Ukraine seven new requirements, including raising the retirement age. Besides, on the website of the Ministry of social policy of Ukraine appeared the announcement of the “shocking” of the pension reform. Soon, the publication disappeared from the site.
