KYIV. April 26 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman and President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Suma Chakrabarti at a meeting in Kyiv have discussed the prospects and directions of bilateral cooperation.

He thanked the EBRD for support in overcoming the consequences of the Chornobyl disaster.

“You know how tragic this event was for our country. I hope we’ll manage to work together to complete what is necessary to stabilize the situation in this area in particular and in the whole country,” he said.
