Details: He said Ukraine has preliminary met most of the programme's benchmarks, many of them ahead of schedule. 

Zhelezniak also added that the issue of tax legislation remains unresolved. It was promised to international partners back in September, but the bill has now been awaiting the president's signature for 28 days.

Background: The updated IMF Memorandum following the fifth review of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) programme does not include any obligations for Ukraine to increase energy tariffs.
