The European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee has voted for a new Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA) for Ukraine.

“The EP’s foreign affairs committee voted in favor of a new MFA for Ukraine but added the amendment that ‘the composition of the Central Election Commission of Ukraine reflects a political balance representing all relevant political forces, notably those represented in the [Verkhovna] Rada,'” Brussels reporter for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Rikard Jozwiak tweeted on May 16.
