Goldman Sachs has agreed to advise the Ukraine government for free, according to Bloomberg.
The bank, "which hasnt arranged a debt or equity sale in Ukraine since at least 1999... will advise the administration of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov on managing its investments, state debt and 'other issues of financial-policy implementation.'"
"The selection follows Goldmans third attempt in 17 years to crack " the former Soviet Republic.
Meanwhile other American banks including JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley have work on various bond sales in Ukraine.

I've been to parts of the world where people must make do with a small fraction of what people here in the USA enjoy. These gangsters who run Wall Street on the Potomac keep people impoverished, just so they can have more. Michael Parenti -- wish I knew about him when I was a young student. A person capable of expressing that characteristic in historic terms would make an outstanding teacher.
Thank you for standing up to the disinformation, sabrina 1. Your kind words, too, I very much appreciate.
