Head of the parliamentary faction of the Radical Party Oleh Liashko calls for the renunciation of Ukraine's cooperation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He said meeting the IMF's requirements for granting a tranche leads to the establishment of external management in Ukraine.

"When the International Monetary Fund puts forward loan demands, such as equipping the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) or the creation of an anti-corruption court, it is external management ... We are against external governance in Ukraine. Ukrainians, not the IMF, should rule Ukraine ... Therefore, we urge you to stop cooperation with the IMF," he told reporters in Kyiv on Monday.

At the same time Liashko stressed that his faction would not support the bill on the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court.
