Ukraine Issues Pensions Warning To European Union

Ukraine may not have the money to pay wages and pensions unless the European Union speeds up its financial aid, the country’s prime minister has warned.

“The most important thing for us is that it comes as soon as possible,” Denis Shmigal told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Saturday. 

“We need it so that our financial system can survive. Whether it will come in the form of a loan or a grant is less important,” the PM added.
