Deputy General Prosecutor of Ukraine Maxim Krym at his desk discussing the crisis of powers and protection of state interests

"Who Will Really Protect the State?": Deputy Prosecutor General Maksym Krym on the Crisis of Powers and Protecting Ukraine's Interests

Politics 08/07/2026, 10:15
⚖️ Deputy Prosecutor General Maksym Krym revealed key problems facing the department in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. 📉 **Main Challenge:** The Constitutional Court declared the norm regarding the representation of state interests in court unconstitutional. If parliament does not amend the law, the prosecution service will lose the ability to protect state property and the environment. 🏛️ **Bureaucratic Inaction:** Krym states that prosecutors are forced to sue inactive government bodies that ignore the protection of monuments, lands, and forests. 🛡️ **New Tasks:** Over 4.5 years of war, the scope of work has expanded from war crimes to the protection of investments. 📢 **Conclusion:** Debates about the prosecution service's "too broad powers" fail to account for the reality where other state bodies often abdicate the protection of the country's interests.

Ukraine's Pension Fund takes on the search for work experience: how the new law will save pensions for those who lost documents

Politics 08/07/2026, 08:44
🇺🇦 The Pension Fund of Ukraine is now obliged to search for work experience for citizens itself! A new law, which came into force in August 2026, changes the rules of the game: the state takes on the search for documents for those who lost them due to the war or worked at destroyed enterprises. 📄 ✅ If the employer submitted reporting but did not pay contributions — the work experience will be credited. ✅ PFU checks registries and helps gather documents. ✅ The "philanthropic pension" mechanism is working for direct assistance. This is real help for millions who have returned from occupied territories. #Pensions #Ukraine #SocialGuarantees
