Ukraine ratifies loan from EU
Ukraine's parliament decided to ratify an agreement accepting a loan from the European Union on Tuesday as the financial package was agreed last month under the country's President Viktor Yanukovich but never ratified. The loan provided by the 29-nation bloc totals 610 million euros, or $840 million, and should help the country to get out of financial problems.
