The United States and the European Union (EU) are in preliminary discussions on possible financial assistance for Ukraine following the formation of a new government amid weeks of political unrest, the State Department said Monday. "This is a very preliminary stage. We are consulting with the EU ... and other partners about support Ukraine may need after a new technical government is formed, as the country gets back on the path to economic health through the IMF (International Monetary Fund)," said spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "Any decisions we make will be guided by events in Ukraine and our consultations with the new government after it is formed," Psaki told reporters. She said no further details were available.
