22 March 2019, Ukraine, Kiew: Market on the left bank of the river Dnipro in the Ukrainian capital Kiev. For many Ukrainians, especially pensioners, daily necessities have become unaffordable since the fall of the government in 2014. Even slight economic growth and rising wages and pensions before the presidential elections on 31 March 2019 are only minor compensation for the losses suffered in previous years.
