According to Zholnovych, the highest pensions are typically awarded to prosecutors and high-ranking officials, often as a result of court rulings. The minister emphasized that such legal maneuvers will no longer be effective, as new measures ensure that no pension can exceed the established limit without a court appeal.

Furthermore, the new bill aims to standardize the approach to calculating disability benefits, making them independent of an individual's status or previous position. This reform is part of broader efforts to ensure greater fairness in Ukraine's pension system.
