KIEV, Feb. 23 – Batkivschyna Party leader Yulia Tymoshenko, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault have discussed the internal political conflict in Ukraine and the fight against corruption at a meeting in Kiev on Tuesday.

"The introduction of the visa-free regime with the EU will depend on your progress in countering corruption. The same applies to the IMF," said Ayrault, as quoted by the Batkivschyna's press service.
