The International Monetary Fund (IMF) plans to announce a new date of an Executive Board meeting on the completion of the third revision of the EFF program for Ukraine in the near future, IMF spokesperson Gerry Rice has said.

"The IMF Executive Board meeting on Ukraine has been postponed to allow the staff time to assess the implications of various recent developments for the program. We expect to announce a new date soon," he said during a traditional briefing in Washington.

He did not specify what events were being discussed.

"As I have said I don't have a lot for you beyond what I have said. I don't have details of the developments of our staff," he said, asked whether there is a link between the postponement of the meeting date and the trade blockade of certain regions of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
