Verkhovna Rada has passed the constitutional amendments that seek to pursue the Ukrainian government\u2019s course toward decentralization and de-oligarchization of the state. \u201cIt was very exciting to stand in the parliament and see the vibrant democracy in action; see the real debates and not fake discussions of old,\u201d said Victoria Nuland, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Victoria Nuland emphasized the need for the constitutional amendments as a \u201cprotection of Ukraine from federalization\u201d, while the amendment on the special status of some districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions was approved in compliance with Minsk agreements. \u201cUkraine is doing its job. There is no excuses for the other side to break the agreement,\u201d said Nuland.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beside constitutional changes, Nuland noted the sound unity of the parliamentary factions that allowed passing a major package of economic reforms in compliance with IMF standards, putting the country closer to unlocking the next tranche of financial assistance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She has also refuted allegations that the United States traded its collaboration with Ukraine in exchange for the Russian support of the Iranian deal as \u201coffensive\u201d. \u201cIt was not in favor of the U.S. but because it was in Russia\u2019s interest to ensure Iran does not have nuclear weapons,\u201d said Nuland, stressing that the American support for Ukraine remains as strong as of the rest of the international community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">American delegation will be in Ukraine on July 17 to mourn 298 victims at the anniversary of the Malaysia Airlines MH17 crash. Although Victoria Nuland commented that she did not want to get ahead of the Dutch investigators, she reiterated the message of the Secretary of State John Kerry that the United States are closely cooperating with other parties involved, while all efforts should be devoted to ensure that those responsible for the crime would be brought to justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH IN ENGLISH Kyiv, July 16, 2015.
