The Russian State Duma adopted a bill that allows counting work by residents of temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, including the TOT of Kherson region, toward pension service.
This is reported by Kremlin-controlled media.
It concerns the crediting to pension service of periods of work: on the territory of Ukraine from January 1, 1991 to February 23, 2022 for residents of the occupied parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, on the territory of the so-called “DNR” and “LNR” from May 11, 2014 to December 31, 2022 and on the temporarily occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions from February 24 to December 31, 2022.
In addition, it foresees including periods of work in annexed Crimea and Sevastopol after March 17, 2014 in the insurance record.
Recall that almost immediately from the start of the full-scale invasion and the takeover of Kherson region, the occupation administrations demanded that local residents obtain Russian passports allegedly to receive social payments and pensions.
And from January 1, 2025, the Russians stopped paying pensions to residents of the temporarily occupied part of Kherson region, who do not have a Russian passport.
