Mingarelli: Discussion about macro-financial assistance to Ukraine still ongoing

Discussions among the EU member states about the provision of EUR 600 million macro-financial assistance to Ukraine are still ongoing.

Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine Hugues Mingarelli said this in a commentary to journalists in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"Discussions are still ongoing. It's true that a number of conditions have not been fulfilled yet. It’s also true that Ukraine can always ask for new macro-financial assistance," he said.

Mingarelli stressed that the European Union remained committed to political, economic and financial support for Ukraine.

On November 24, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko discussed with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels the ways to optimize financial assistance from the EU.
