Uqraine.com - Ukraine Outlook ::: Comprehensive analytics by an independent non-partisan self-funding Kyiv-based think tank - current developments review as seen by a Ukrainian citizen
Every Ukrainian Government conducts business according to the strict procedure. If a trial happens and they will be questioned about their possible misdeeds, they will eagerly answer that they acted within the limits of their authority and executed the orders of the seniors.
In 2016 average salary in Ukraine is $175 per month,
which is $2100 per year (additionally ~20% of various direct taxes are deducted
from this sum, as well as 20% VAT on any purchase). It roughly equals country's
GDP per capita. Average state pension is $60 per month. Note that private
pension system is still in its first stages of development; millions of
pensioners receive minimum pension which is $45 per month. This $1.5 per day
sum is actually lower than the poverty line approved by the World Bank at $1.9
per day.
