WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) – The United States is ready to
provide financial support to Ukraine to complement IMF aid, the
White House said on Monday, in the aftermath of the ouster of
Ukraine’s Russian-backed president, Viktor Yanukovich.
“The United States, working with partners around the world,
stands ready to provide support for Ukraine as it takes the
reforms it needs to, to get back to economic stability,” White
House spokesman Jay Carney told a news briefing.
“This support can complement an IMF program by helping to
make reforms easier and by putting Ukraine in a position to
invest more in health and education to help develop Ukraine’s
human capital and strengthen its social safety net,” Carney
added.
