KIEV, Aug. 27 – The Ukrainian government is providing all the required support to the National Bank of Ukraine for the stabilization of the hryvnia exchange rate and expects that the exchange rate will stabilize in the near future, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said.

"UAH 12/$1 is an acceptable exchange rate for the Ukrainian economy. We cannot bear a higher one," he said, opening a cabinet meeting in Kiev on Wednesday.
