Finance: Romania, Ukraine, and Greece

According to the IMF, Ukraine as of January 6, 2011, ranked second in terms of its liabilities due to the IMF since August 2010.The IMF's No. 1 debtor is Romania with SDR 9.8 billion, and third place is occupied by Greece with SDR 9.13 billion.As of the beginning of 2011, Ukraine accounted for two out of every nine dollars of all the countries' debts to the fund under standard loan programs, according to the IMF
From Interfax-Ukraine, I believe that the article misses an important distinction between Ukraine, Romania, and Greece. Greece (and Ireland)  has been bailed out by the EU under its throw-lots-of-euros-at-the-problem program, while Ukriane and Romania have not.
