U.S. To Guarantee More Ukrainian Loans
The United States has announced it has signed a major new loan guarantee with Ukraine aimed at helping Kyiv stabilize its weakened economy.
The $1-billion commitment is the third of its kind issued by Washington since a pro-EU revolution brought down Ukraine's Russia-backed president in February 2014.
The pledge is to provide Ukraine with more affordable access to international capital markets and fill its gaping budget hole.
"The guarantee sends a strong signal of the United States' continued support for Ukraine as it pursues reforms that fulfill the Ukrainian people's aspirations for a prosperous and democratic future," US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt said in a statement on June 3.
The new U.S. assistance is part of a $40-billion global rescue package agreed by Ukraine and the International Monetary Fund in March 2015.
