Ukraine said late Tuesday its economy expanded at a surprisingly fast pace of nearly 5% in the fourth quarter as it continued its steady climb out of a two-year recession, AFP reported. The State Statistics Service said gross domestic product growth reached 4.7% between October and December 2016 compared to the same period a year earlier.
