What happened

While Ukraine is experiencing serious financial problems, its Western partners have so far provided only a quarter of what Kiev was counting on, said Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a member of Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada.

Why it matters

In his words, parliamentary factions met with Prime Minister Sergey Koretsky on Thursday.

Common ground

Out of billions of dollars [pledged by partners], only one quarter has arrived," he wrote on Telegram.
