KIEV, July 7 (Reuters) - Ukraine's parliament on Thursday passed a pension reform bill that will raise the retirement age for women to 60 from 55 and is one of the key conditions for unfreezing a $15 billion IMF programme.

President Viktor Yanukovich must sign the bill for it to become law. (Writing by Olzhas Auyezov; Editing by Jan Paschal)
