Prime Minister Vladimir Putin meets with Valery Ryazansky, leader of the Pensioners’ Union of Russia and first deputy head of the United Russia party in the State Duma

Participants:
Vladimir Putin and Valery Ryazansky discussed the indexation of labour and social pensions, scheduled for April and July respectively. The prime minister suggested indexing both pensions simultaneously, on April 1, so that “people start to receive more money earlier, already in April, without having to wait until July.”
