"Madam President, you will not believe this but, the day before yesterday, I met a group of young Ukrainians who, when they heard that I often talk about the problems of pensioners, almost begged me, with one voice: ‘did you know that in the Ukraine pensioners are really, really badly off? Why is it that you in the European Union are not doing anything about the fate of the pensioners in Ukraine? The pensioners in our country lived under the communist regime for many years, when they were young workers. They had neither freedom nor democracy, their lives consisted of work and nothing else. Now communism has fallen and they are left with a miserable pension which is not even enough to buy a couple of pints of milk a day. We expect a great deal from you: you must concern yourselves with our elderly people as well as our economy, or else they will wish the communists had never left.’"@en1
