KYIV, Nov 7 – Parliamentary Speaker Andriy Parubiy has met with a group of experts from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) led by the head of the IMF's Mission to Ukraine Ron Van Rooden to discuss the prospects for adopting the state budget of Ukraine for 2019.

The Verkhovna Rada's press service said that during their meeting Parubiy thanked the representatives of the IMF for their cooperation, especially, in the past few years. He said that the Fund's assistance in 2014 was of crucial importance as Ukraine was in a very grave situation at that time because of the Russian aggression.
