Ukraine expects IMF mission at the end of Aug

Ukraine is expecting an International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission at the end of August, Prime Minister Yulia Svirydenko said.

"We are expecting an IMF mission at the end of August," she said during the presentation of the government's Action Program on Monday.

Svirydenko also expects that members of the Verkhovna Rada will be part of the negotiating team.

"We would very much like our partners' demands to be coordinated with us. Preferably coordinated with the European Union... We need to work to ensure that the IMF and European Union programs are coordinated with each other," she added.
