IMF board to review $8.1 bln loan for Ukraine on Thursday, sources say

WASHINGTON, Feb 25 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund's executive board will review an $8.1 billion lending agreement for Ukraine and vote on its approval on Thursday, two sources familiar with the plans said.

The IMF declined to comment on the board meeting, which has not yet been posted on its website calendar.

IMF spokeswoman Julie Kozack last week said the board would review the Ukraine lending package in coming days, but gave no specific date.
