  >Could you explain to me, how the payment of pensions would happen practically on those territories then? the way it was happening before September. If you read the story - it was just a political decision to stop paying. It happened right after the decision about "special status" and public declarations of Kiev politicians about "no money to separatists".

    The payments are made from the central budgetary administration to the local administrations, where the money is distributed to eligible people. Now, those local administrations are controled by criminal groups. If they were OK with violating the country's law and constitution, why wouldn't they be OK with skimming or even taking the pensions? I'm not saying, that this decision is fair. Nor am I saying, that the civilians in Ukraine's east are treated fairly. But it must be clear, that the fault is solely with those idiots with machine guns and heavy weaponry spounting nonsense about "Novorossia". None of the crap the Donbass people are going through was in place, when the new government formed. It is only when the Russians sponsered criminals started enforcing their own rules the shit hit the fan. Furthermore, the article says, that the pensions will be payed on government controlled territory. You must agree, that "paying pensions in a safe environment without any fighting" and "not paying" are different things.
