KIEV, Sept. 8 – The Ukrainian presidential secretariat has predicted Ukraine will face difficulties winning the disbursal of the next tranche of the International Monetary Fund's loan to Ukraine.

"My talks with the [IMF] mission chief allow me to conclude that they are greatly disappointed at the way Ukraine is acting, as the country is not only failing to comply with the obligations it had undertaken, but is misinforming [the fund] about their implementation," the first deputy head of the presidential secretariat and the president's representative at the Cabinet of Ministers, Oleksandr Shlapak, said at a briefing in Kiev on Tuesday.
