Awake Goy “I’m glad that the talks on are now over. We have reached a preliminary agreement on disbursing $17.5 billion for Ukraine. It’s a four-year program,” the Fund’s managing Director Christine Lagarde said in Brussels on Thursday.

Lagarde did not specify if Russian aid will be included the $40-billion program funded by several sources.
Ukrainian authorities are trying to rescue the country’s conflict-hit, deteriorating economy with international loans.
In spring 2014, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) promised Kiev $17 billion in bailout loans, to be paid over the course of two years. In addition, several Western countries allocated funds to Ukraine to help the country rebuild its economy and enact necessary structural reforms.
