IMF package for Ukraine 'not enough', minister says - chicagotribune.com:
"Ukraine's deputy prime minister told international donors on Tuesday that a $17 billion International Monetary Fund bailout was "not enough" because of "unprecedented Russian-inspired aggression".
Vice Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman urged international donors at a meeting in Brussels to support a "Marshall Plan" for economic recovery that the government will present at a donors' conference expected to be held in the autumn.
The IMF approved a $17 billion two-year aid program for Ukraine in April to help the former Soviet republic's economy recover after months of upheaval, unlocking further credits from other donors of about $15 billion. Ukraine's economy has stagnated for the past two years and the government has said it is likely to shrink by 3-5 percent this year."
