KIEV (Sputnik) – Earlier in the day, Danylyuk met with US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey R. Pyatt to discuss pressing issues of further cooperation between the Finance Ministry and the US government.
"The US government, along with the Finance Ministry, will continue to implement a two-year program of funding the consulting services to reform the Ukrainian Customs Service, initiated by the previous [Finance] Minister Natalia Yaresko.
