Yanukovych is against increasing the pension age for men and women
"On air of Mykolaiv regional broadcasting company the Party of Regions Leader Viktor Yanukovych said that he is against the increase of pension age for men to 65 years and for women to 60 years."
While his objections make sense for men (as the life expectancy for men is less than 65), the case for increasing the pension age for women seems to make more sense given that the life expectancy of Ukrainian women is so much higher.
