"A technical mission of the IMF has arrived in Ukraine [and] … the result of the talks [with them] should be a decision on a financial aid package," Kyrylenko said.

"Given this, we will be ready by February 15, or maybe sooner, to introduce a package of the amendments to the tax and budget legislation stemming from the results of these consultations," Kyrylenko said.

"Of course, this package of bills will be submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine only after the consultations with the factions of the coalition," he said.
