(Reuters) - Ukraine has prepared a package of measures to stabilize the currency market, President Petro Poroshenko's press office said on Wednesday, hours after the central bank banned most commercial currency trading. The package was the result of an emergency meeting between Poroshenko, Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk, Finance Minister Natalia Yaresko and central bank chief Valeria Gontareva. Earlier, Yatseniuk criticized Gontareva for imposing the currency trade ban without consulting his cabinet.
