LONDON (Reuters) - International lenders will help Ukraine ride out its economic turmoil provided that the government pushes through reforms and tackles corruption, a senior official of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development said on Thursday.

"I think there is a consensus among all these parties (international lenders) that they will step up to the plate, on the condition of course that the Ukrainian government is performing," Sevki Acuner, the EBRD's country head for Ukraine, told Reuters.
