KIEV (Reuters) - The new Ukrainian government must use its first 100 days in office to implement reforms needed to secure 600 million euros in new aid, European Union Commissioner Johannes Hahn said on a visit to Kiev on Thursday.

The steps include tackling corruption by installing a new, reform-minded general prosecutor, and sticking to an International Monetary Fund assistance programme rather than trying to renegotiate it, Hahn said.
