KIEV, Feb. 11 – The discontinuation of credit cooperation between the International Monetary Fund and Ukraine is risky for Europe's economy, head of the National Bank of Ukraine Council Petro Poroshenko said at a press conference on Tuesday.

He said he still hopes for the timely allocation of the next part of a $16.5 billion IMF stand-by credit to Ukraine.

In addition, he said he thought that the IMF mission that finished its work in Kiev last week had agreed on most issues with Ukraine's government.
