A group of U.S. experts has arrived in Ukraine to hold consultations on immediate economic reforms, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns has said.

He said that in Kyiv he was accompanied by a team of economic experts from the U.S. Treasury Department and the White House, and that after his departure on Wednesday they would remain in the city to continue bilateral consultations, the press service of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine said.

Burns said that it was very important for the Ukrainian parliament to form a multi-party technical government that would represent all regions of Ukraine.

He said that as soon as this government was formed, the United States and its international partners could start taking immediate steps to help Ukraine economically and implement the reforms needed to restore the political and economic health of Ukraine.
