During her visit to Washington, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko met with European Commissioner for Economy and Productivity Valdis Dombrovskis to discuss continued financial support for Ukraine and the implementation of the new reparations loan mechanism, the official website of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine reported.
"We began the day with meetings in Washington. I was glad to see European Commissioner for Economy and Productivity Valdis Dombrovskis. We had many topics in common – continued financial support for Ukraine, and the implementation of the new financial mechanism of reparations loans announced by the European Union," the government portal quoted Svyrydenko as saying.
Svyrydenko also expressed hope that the EU's 19th package of sanctions against Russia would be adopted soon.
"Maintaining consistent pressure is the only effective mechanism to influence the aggressor and reduce the revenues from oil and gas that Russia uses to finance its war," Svyrydenko said.
