WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 - Ukraine wants to resume its stalled loan program with the International Monetary Fund, but there are no plans yet for a negotiating mission, a fund spokesman said Thursday.

"The authorities have expressed interest in resuming a program relationship with the fund, though the specific modalities and conditions have not been discussed yet and we have not received a request from the Ukrainian authorities to send a negotiating mission," IMF spokesman Gerry Rice said in a briefing, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
