What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Ukraine's second review under its International Monetary Fund program was pushed back to December and will be combined with the third, following the failure to meet reform requirements, which delays the next disbursement of funds. Previously, the International Monetary Fund completed the first review of the 4-year Extended Fund Facility program, allowing the immediate disbursement of SDR 503 million (about $690 million) of the second tranche, though it noted several performance criteria were not met.
