Economic performance grows stably in the Republic, which makes it possible to significantly increase wages and pensions, DPR People’s Council deputy Valery Skorokhodov said.
“According to Denis Pushilin’s statement, these payments will have been brought into proximity with the average of Russia’s Rostov Region by 2022. It is noteworthy that this is quite likely even in our conditions of the economic blockade and ongoing armed conflict.
Our enterprises continue to ramp up their facilities and conclude new contracts with partners from Russia and other countries. The Republic is becoming more and more attractive for foreign investors, which was proved during the International Investment Forum in Donetsk. Since early 2020, the minimum pension in Donetsk has become higher than in Ukraine. It is logical to assume that the welfare of the citizens of the Republic will continue to improve in the foreseeable future, we will not stop at this point,” the parliamentarian added.
