Passing Additional Reform Measures
President Obama
dropped by a meeting today between Vice President Biden and Prime
Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk of Ukraine. President Obama and Vice
President Biden both expressed unwavering
support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and
underscored the U.S. commitment to maintaining sanctions on Russia until
it fully implements its obligations under the Minsk agreements. The
President and Vice President commended the Government
of Ukraine for the steps it has taken to implement its obligations
under the Minsk agreements, including the submission to Ukraine's
parliament of draft constitutional amendments on decentralization. The
President and Vice President also welcomed the Government
of Ukraine's ambitious economic reform agenda, which was discussed
extensively today at the U.S.-Ukraine Business Forum in Washington, as
well as the government's strong stand against populist measures that
could undermine Ukraine's financial stability. The
leaders agreed on the importance of Ukraine passing additional reform
measures, including in the energy sector, to fulfil its commitments to
the IMF and other international financial institutions.
