The
Vice President met with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on the
margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The Vice
President congratulated President
Poroshenko on completing the IMF review, and also informed him that all
policy steps have been taken to proceed with the issuance of Ukraine's
third U.S. sovereign loan guarantee of up to $1 billion. They agreed
that these milestones are a demonstration of
Ukraine's continued progress on the path of reform. The Vice President
stressed, however, that it was imperative for Ukraine's leadership to
accelerate the reforms necessary to strengthen Ukraine's energy and
justice sectors. The Vice President also reiterated
the urgency of ensuring full implementation of the Minsk Agreements.
