KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said on Friday he would not let his decision-making be shackled by powerful vested interests, allowing him to push through reforms and usher in a period of economic stability.

In his first interview with foreign media since taking office in April, Groysman told Reuters he was confident of receiving a further instalment of aid worth $1.7 billion (£1.17 billion) from the International Monetary Fund, which is contingent on implementing reforms.
