MINSK, 6 November (BelTA) – I signed a decree to raise pensions, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he attended a ceremony to launch the third line of the Minsk metro, BelTA has learned.
"We need to help pensioners and veterans. They are our rock," Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “Yesterday I signed the decree to raise (a little bit) pensions so that disposable pensions don't fall."
