A coalition government should be formed before the 8th Verkhovna Rada starts work, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said. 

“We should complete the formation of a coalition government within six days,” Poroshenko said at a joint press conference with U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden in Kyiv on Friday.

Poroshenko said the parties agreed on the procedure for providing financial assistance to Ukraine.

“We agreed with the International Monetary Fund on the areas of financial support. We expect that these processes will be completed immediately after the formation of the government,” he said.
