IMF mission to make May 29 visit to Ukraine to review programme - PM

KIEV, April 24 (Reuters) - Ukraine expects an International Monetary Fund mission to arrive in Kiev on May 29 to begin the first review of the Extended Fund Facility programme for the heavily-indebted ex-Soviet country, Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said on Friday.

Ukraine says it would like to have a plan for restructuring its $23 billion foreign debt in place by the time the IMF mission arrives in Kiev.
