Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has listed the Ukrainian government's seven achievements in the past 12 months.

"Firstly, we've fully financed the Ukrainian army, which has been created from scratch. Secondly, we haven't delayed any payment of wages or pensions to Ukrainian citizens. Thirdly, we've had our international debts written off – it's not us who have accumulated those debts, but we had to take an important decision to restructure those debts," Yatseniuk said in an interview with Ukrainian TV Channels on Friday evening.

The premier said that the government had ended dependence on Russian gas supplies, readied the country for the coming winter, and prepared a package of reform for 2016.

It also managed to maintain political stability in the parliamentary coalition despite political difficulties, retaining "normal relations between the president, the prime minister and Members of Parliament."
