Ukraine is looking forward to receiving at least one billion euro (1.24 billion U.S. dollars) from the European Union (EU) under the new macro-financial assistance program, Ukrainian Finance Minister Oleksandr Danylyuk said on March 7.
“The program of one billion euros has been preliminarily approved, but we will continue consultations with the European Commission in order to find a way to increase this sum,” Danylyuk said in an interview with the RBC-Ukraine online media outlet.
