Question: In Ukraine the minimum pension is around $66. How is it possible that people are not raising this issue in society and demanding a decent standard of living for everyone?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Ukraine Webinar.
Well, partly because it is not very easy to raise the pension in a wartime economy, but partly because the economy has not been good enough to give a better pension.
The only way out of this is the transition that we have talked about, where Ukraine makes the shift so that it becomes a modern, free economy that uses its natural resources and distributes them more equally to all people. The state cannot pay more pension unless they have more money. They will not have more money unless they take in more taxes, and they will not take in more taxes unless people are making more money. And this means that a broad range of people need to make more money, not just a few oligarchs who either do not pay taxes or are paying too little in taxes to give the economy the lift that is needed. You could also say it another way relating to a previous question that building a middle class of people who have a steady income and are willing to pay taxes to support the state and the benefits is also a way to improve the situation for everyone. Unless there is a group of people with a good income who can pay enough taxes, how will you support the pensions of those who are not making an income.
