U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt has said the allocation of $1 billion U.S. loan guarantees to Ukraine will depend on the formation of a new reform-minded Cabinet of Ministers, according to an UaPosition correspondent.
Until there is no new government in Ukraine, there will be no third tranche of loan guarantees in the amount of $1 billion, Pyatt said during his visit to Gostomel Antonov airfield on Tuesday.
According to the Ambassador, it`s not just about the U.S. financial assistance, but also that from the International Monetary Fund and the European Union.
It all depends on the new Cabinet of Ministers with a clear mandate to carry out reforms, Pyatt said.
In this regard, the Ambassador stressed that the U.S. expects further progress in other important areas of reform, including the appointment of a new reform-minded Prosecutor General, who will enjoy support and trust of the Ukrainian people, the Verkhovna Rada and civil society.
