Ukraine’s interim government said Monday it wants a $15 billion rescue from the International Monetary Fund as officials from the emergency lender kicked off a 10-day visit to shape a bailout of the struggling economy.

Ukraine’s newly appointed economy minister, Pavlo Sheremeta, said the government is aiming for a two-year IMF loan modeled on Ukraine’s previous bailout program. The interim government in Kiev, established after the ouster of the former pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych by protesters late last month, last week requested international financial assistance to help stabilize its struggling economy.
