Pensions are being paid for the 2nd quarter of 2014
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has permitted to remit pensions in the form of international money transfers to the territory of Crimea. A two-way exchange of international money transfers between Ukrposhta and Russia has kept on going, the press-office of Ukrposhta reports.
Ukrposhta will continue accepting and transferring pension amounts to the post offices in the Crimean peninsula.
Director General of Ukrposhta Mikhailo Pankiv noted that disbursement of pensions among the Crimeans through the Ukrposhta’s international money transfer channels is regarded to be the most convenient way today, so far as the Ukrainian banks do not work anymore in the annexed territory.
Apart from postal transfers, pensions can be issued through crediting the money to the accounts of the banks located outside of the temporary occupied territory.
The Crimeans who wish to resume payment of pensions by Ukraine can apply in person to one of the four regional branches of the Ukraine’s Pension Fund in Kherson oblast – in Genichesky, Kalanchatsky, Novotroitsky and Chaplinsky districts, and file an application for refusal from the pension paid by Russia.
A number of the Ukrposhta’s postal outlets in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea are 539 branches, with 57 out of them located in Sevastopol city.
