Pensions which are to be paid early January 2017 could be paid late December 2016, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Rozenko has said.

"Rozenko also did not rule out that the pensions who are to receive them early January 2017 under the schedule would be paid late December 2016 as it happened last year," the press service of the deputy prime minister reported.

Rozenko said that Ukraine's Pension Fund should make the payments earlier.
