The United States Vice President Joe Biden has said that the new Ukrainian government must be formed over the next few days.

At a press conference held jointly with Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko in Kyiv on Friday he told Ukrainians to create a new government over the next few days, not weeks. According to Biden, Ukraine needs to conduct a number of necessary reforms to improve its economic situation. There is a great deal of work to be done in Kyiv, starting from the creation of a new government, he said. The U.S. is expecting Ukraine to implement key reforms and the U.S. government will support Kyiv on this path, he said. It is necessary to create stronger democratic institutions, an accountable government, to conduct European integration, to develop the economy and to eradicate corruption that exists in Ukraine and has been swallowing Ukraine’s (resources) for a long time now, Biden said.
