However, the relevant legislative initiatives have not been considered in parliament yet.
Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said earlier that the IMF would postpone the allocation of the next tranche to Ukraine worth $1.9 billion due to the unpreparedness of the parliament to adopt a land reform before the end of the current session (July 15). The reform provides for the purchase and sale of agricultural land by Ukrainian citizens.
