The Republic has announced an increase in salaries and pension payments, DPR People’s Council deputy Marina Zheinova commented on this statement.

“The leadership of the Republic is bending every effort to improve the welfare of our citizens, which is why by 2022 it is planned to increase pensions, salaries to public sector employees and civil servants.

Of course, this cannot be done immediately, the increases will be introduced in stages, but this is an obvious step forward and a further confirmation of the successful economic development of the Donetsk People’s Republic. Besides, such a decision of the Republic’s leadership proves that integration with the Russian Federation is taking place not in words, but in practice, because the main thing is not slogans, but the standard of our citizens’ living,” Zheinova said.
