Maria Kniazeva. Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk during a press conference in Brussels after the Association Council EU-Ukraine said that the country needed additional financial assistance, despite the fact that the European Commission informs the feasibility of developing a new package of support only in case of real progress in reforms in Ukraine.

" The situation is extremely complex. We lost 10% of our industrial production, " - said Yatsenyuk. He said that Ukraine has lost 20% of the economy " out of the Crimea of its composition And the war in the East. Ukrainian currency has fallen " supposedly 100% ", summed up the Prime Minister.

" And, despite all This, the Government has collected on 5% more in taxes in comparison with the year 2013. But It can't last forever, We can't fix the situation only through fiscal measures. We need to get some help, " - said Yatsenyuk.

" In order to pass through this period, Ukraine need to get the infusion of cash. This injection? It's a fresh package of financial aid. And We expect that as part of our reform programme And in connection with our commitment to close in the life of the reforms, We will get this cash assistance, because It is a joint problem, I would have said even the whole world, to make Ukraine a " success story, " said Yatsenyuk on mutual press conference with representatives of the European Commission.

He told me that in the process of the Association Council EU-Ukraine on the first day of the week discussed the issue of financial assistance to Ukraine." The government will do everything in his hands, But We need Support. Support For the stabilization of the Ukrainian economy, Support For the stabilization of the Ukrainian fiscal And financial sector, Support To quit the turbulent And complex historical period, " - said Yatsenyuk.

Shortly before the meeting of this Council, the European Commissioner for European neighbourhood policy And the negotiations on the extension Johannes Hahn said that the new package of macro-financial assistance from the EU For Ukraine is able to be created only after the appearance of the Commission, for specific performance of the government in the area of reforms.
