"I am concerned about reports from regions that there are delays in pension payments. Personal responsibility [of the Pension Fund heads] - to fulfill obligations to retired persons and resolve the situation until the end of the week. In addition, there should be an internal investigation into the actions of the Pension Fund heads, as well as the [Fund’s] heads in the regions,” Groysman said.
