Ukrainian president gives “unequivocal commitment” to make reforms demanded by the EU by May, as price for an association agreement.
The EU today said that it is prepared to provide Ukraine with financial support worth €610 million if it can secure the support of the International Monetary Fund.
The pledge, which would help Ukraine meet payments to foreign creditors, was the principal outcome of a delayed summit between the EU and Ukraine.
However, the focus of the meeting was on efforts to conclude an association agreement, including a ‘deep and comprehensive free-trade agreement’, by November, when the EU will hold a summit with the six countries that belong to the EU’s Eastern Partnership.
