While the rules for assigning pensions have changed for some Ukrainians, it has become known about the injustice in terms of its size and the insurance period required for retirement. For some categories of pensioners, these conditions seem truly heavenly.

As the People's Deputy of Ukraine Danylo Hetmantsev reported on his Telegram channel, speaking about the injustice of Ukraine's pension system and the need to reform it, this is most noticeable in the statistics on the pensions of judges and prosecutors.
This injustice is that:
- 440 million hryvnias are spent per month on 4 thousand judges, the same amount goes for pensions for 120 thousand retired teachers and doctors;
- If an ordinary person needs to reach 32 years of service to retire, judges only need 20 years in office, and prosecutors need 15 years;
- an ordinary person can retire after reaching the age of 60, while the retirement age for prosecutors is 46 years, for judges – 55 years, and this leads to the constant need to update the staff every 15 years;
- if an ordinary person receives a pension of an average of 30% of their earnings, and now even less, then a prosecutor or judge receives 50−70% of their salary;
- If the pensions of ordinary citizens are simply indexed according to a formula that also needs improvement, then special pensions are recalculated in connection with the increase in the monetary support of certain officials.
“This does not correspond to either the constitutional guarantees of justice or equality of pension provision. Pension reform is long overdue — both of the solidarity and the accumulative system. It is time to finally eliminate pension injustice,” Danylo Hetmantsev summarizes.
