WASHINGTON: U.S. Vice President Joe Biden spoke on Thursday
to new Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, emphasising the need
to move quickly on reforms and implementing the Minsk ceasefire
agreement with Russia, the White House said.
"The vice president stressed that, in order to maintain
international support for Ukraine, the new team should move forward
quickly on Ukraine's reform programme, including fulfilling its IMF
commitments, as well as on Minsk implementation and the confirmation of a
new, reformist prosecutor general," the White House said in a
statement.
