Kiev is hoping to secure more than €500m in EU aid by July, amid its never-ending fight against corruption.
"Hopefully, it will be in June. I really hope so," Oleksandr Danyliuk, the Ukrainian finance minister, told EUobserver in an interview.
The tranche would be part of a €1bn EU programme designed to give the Ukrainian state more liquidity.
It is not a done deal, and will require MEPs approval, amid EU concerns that the Ukrainian state is not a safe pair of hands.
