Anna Skorokhod warned that amendment No.630 to the budget could leave veterans without pensions and orphaned children without proper support. She said the changes jeopardize pension payments to people discharged for health reasons or length of service, as well as those receiving a pension due to loss of a breadwinner.

Former military personnel, law‑enforcement officers and children who have lost parents could be affected. Instead of real payments, people are offered to account for the state debt and wait for repayment through bonds. Skorokhod called on the Ministry of Finance to correct the amendment before the final budget vote.
