KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's Finance Minster said on Friday she expected to meet face-to-face with creditors as "noticeable progress" had been made in talks to restructure $23 billion of national debt.

Negotiations hit a stumbling block last week, when both sides accused the other of a lack of engagement. Kiev has since ratcheted up pressure on bondholders, by threatening to halt debt payments if a "good-faith, collaborative" solution is not found.
