International Monetary Fund will offer between $14bn and $18bn in a deal intended to help Ukraine meet its debt repaymentsThe International Monetary Fund has agreed a $14bn to $18bn bailout for Ukraine, a deal that will unlock further credits to reach a total of $27bn over the next two years.
The agreement is intended to help Ukraine meet debt payments looming this year after months of anti-government protests that culminated in the overthrow of President Viktor Yanukovych and a standoff with Moscow in which Russia annexed the Crimea region.

Yeah, that commie sum bitch had to go! If you can't put the screws to the working class, you got no place in imperial government!
