Russian minister says to consider Kiev government to determine Ukraine aid details
       
Russian Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said on Wednesday that Moscow will take changes in the Ukrainian government into consideration when determining the schedule and details of a $15 billion financial aid package to Kiev, the Interfax news agency reported.

"Our commitment to fulfilling these obligations has been confirmed. As for the schedule and parameters, this is an issue that requires further discussion with our Ukrainian colleagues and consideration of the restructuring of the government," Ulyukayev was quoted as saying.


Earlier in the day, President Vladimir Putin instructed his government on Wednesday to honor agreements for Russia to lend $15 billion to Ukraine and cut the price of gas it sells to its crisis-hit neighbor.       

Putin's order, reported by Interfax news agency, underscored his pledge at a Russia-European Union summit in Brussels on Tuesday, when asked whether Russia would review the aid package if the opposition took power in Kiev.         

First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, attending a meeting with Putin, said talks would be as soon as a new Ukrainian government is formed. Prime Minister Mykola Azarov was replaced on Tuesday in an acting capacity by Serhiy Arbuzov.
