LONDON, Jan. 22 - Ukraine's sovereign dollar bonds slumped on Thursday after the government said it would seek talks with bondholders to "improve debt sustainability,“ interpreted by many as a call to restructure the debt, Reuters reported.
The comments by Finance Minister Natalia Yaresko are being seen as a call for creditors to write down some of Ukraine's debt as the country looks set to get a bigger and longer-term financing facility from the International Monetary Fund.
