KIEV, July 29 – Ukraine’s opposition government regrets that the International Monetary Fund has allocated a credit of $15 billion to Ukraine and hopes that the fund will reconsider this decision.

"We are convinced that the authorities will spend these assets on their corrupt payments to the RosUkrEnergo Company in the wake of [Ukraine's] shameful failure at the Stockholm Arbitration Tribunal this July, as BYT leader Yulia Tymoshenko has said many times during her public speeches," reads an opposition statement issued by the BYT's press service.

The opposition government is convinced that the IMF should not have taken the decision to support the current authorities "under the conditions of an obvious winding down of democracy, freedom of speech and civil rights in Ukraine."
