"I'm very much aware that the reform process has been difficult for leaders like the prime minister and ministers I met with, especially for the people of Ukraine as there are many sacrifices and many difficulties. But I want everyone to know that we at the World Bank Group and many people observing Ukraine have been very impressed with the extent of the reform process that has happened over the last few years," he said.
