President Zelenskiy believes he has the votes in the Rada to pass a bill that would shield PrivatBank from re-privatization, clearing the way for an IMF accord. “[The] Bank law is a priority for us,” he told French President Emmanuel Macron by phone Monday. “I am confident it will be backed by parliament because it is important for us and it opens the possibilities for cooperation with the IMF.” Aides predict that there will be special sessions of the Rada on Friday and next week, allowing for passage by the end of the May holidays.
