Deputy head of the international monetary Fund David Lipton tried to convince the restructuring of Ukraine's debt.
"Debt restructuring is key to the stabilization of Ukraine," said Lipton, who spoke at the Symposium in the U.S. capital, reports RIA " Novosti ".
Lipton reiterated earlier estimates by the IMF, according to which Kiev has made collision with "massive challenges" and that the Ukrainian government is " committed to reform ". Remember, Moscow has informed Kiev about the fact that the Russian Federation is the sole holder of Eurobonds of Ukraine in the amount of $ 3 billion, issued by the country in the early winter of 2013. On Sunday, the ad hoc Committee of creditors and Commissioners of the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance in the course of a telephone conversation are unable to reach agreement on debt restructuring. June 5, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine appealed to the holders of its sovereign bonds with a request to identify himself. On may 19, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the law that will give the ability to suspend payments on restructured debt. The Russian President Vladimir Putin called the decision of Kiev weird. In his vision, the Declaration on the fact of default suggests a low level of professionalism. Also, according to Putin, Russian banks have loan portfolios to Ukraine in the amount of 24-25 billion. Prime Minister Medvedev D. A. Also explained the actions of the Rada. According to him, this decision is truly a Declaration of default at the same time with the Declaration of force majeure on debt. For its part, the Finance Minister of Russia Anton Siluanov said that Moscow will turn to international court if the head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko will sign the law on the moratorium on the payment of foreign debts.
