KIEV, March 5 – The International Monetary Fund is waiting for a new government to be formed in Ukraine to continue cooperation with the country, said IMF External Relations Director Caroline Atkinson.

"The fund program stands where it has stood for a while. And we have been looking forward to there being a government establishment placed and ready to talk to us about taking it forward," she said during a regular press briefing in Washington on Thursday when asked about the resumption of the cooperation program under a Stand-By Arrangement with Ukraine.
