Ukraine's parliament will concentrate votes this week on a package of reforms
required by external lenders to unlock about $4.3 bln in EU and IMF financing,
lawmaker Yaroslav Zhelezniak said. Sixteen bills covering labor standards,
updates to anti-money-laundering rules and other measures are expected to pass;
the most critical bills are scheduled for votes by Wednesday under the
parliamentary agenda. Opposition MP Volodymyr Ariev said the timetable is rushed
and MPs have had only minimal time to prepare.
