Russian military specialists working in Donetsk region at Ukrainian chief of staff's request - official

MOSCOW. Dec 10 (Interfax-AVN) - Russia has dispatched a group of military specialists led by Lt. Gen. Alexander Lentsov to the Donetsk region at the request of the Ukrainian armed forces chief of staff, says Army Gen. Valery Gerasimov, the chief of staff of the Russian armed forces.

"Representatives of the Russian armed forces led by Lt. Gen. Alexander Lentsov have been sent to the community of Debaltseve in the Donetsk region at Ukrainian armed forces chief of staff Col. Gen. Viktor Muzhenko's request," Gerasimov said at a meeting with military attaches of a number of foreign countries on Wednesday.

"This mission has been tasked, together with the OSCE, with helping the conflicting parties, which are the Ukrainian forces and the local militia, to find compromise solutions on de-escalating the tension and withdrawing the troops from the contact line," he said.

Ukraine needs expanded IMF programme - economy minister

KIEV Wed Dec 10, 2014 7:21am EST
Dec 10 (Reuters) - Ukraine's new economy minister, Aivaras Abromavicius, said on Wednesday the government wanted the International Monetary Fund to expand its $17 billion bailout package due to Ukraine's worsened economic outlook.

"We want to expand the programme given the difficult situation. Calculations are being made," Abromavicius said at a briefing, adding that it was too early to say how much extra cash would be needed.

The IMF, which is visiting Kiev this week for talks on the bailout programme with the government, warned in September that if Ukraine's conflict with pro-Russian separatists runs into next year, the country may need as much as $19 billion in extra aid.

The comments from Zero Hedge:
Ukraine bond prices have crashed to new record lows this morning - with even 2015 maturing debt trading at a 25% discount to face - following calls (admissions) by Ukraine's new (Lithuanian) economy minister that the government will need more IMF help on top oif its current $17 billion package. The country may need another $19 billion next year!!!
