KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine’s parliament on Thursday failed in a first bid to pass an anti-crisis law approving austerity measures demanded by the International Monetary Fund as part of a $14 billion-18 billion bailout package.
The draft law proposed by the government of Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk failed to muster enough votes, but deputies continued discussions to try to find a compromise.
