TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has urged other countries to contribute more to the economic rescue of Ukraine, as cited in BBC News.


He told the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that Ukraine's "sizeable financing needs" meant other nations must add to its $1bn (£597m, 720m euros) loan guarantee.


The appeal came as Ukraine's interim prime minister offered to devolve more powers to eastern regions.


Pro-Russian separatists there are defying the government.


"The United States is bolstering the IMF program through a complementary aid package, which includes a $1bn loan guarantee and additional technical assistance," Lew said in a statement to the IMF.
