Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Borys Kolesnikov has promised to accelerate construction on stadiums and infrastructure for Euro 2012.
Uefa president Michel Platini last week gave the Ukrainian government until June 2 to show it could catch up on preparations for the tournament after a series of delays.
"The stadiums in Lviv and Kiev and two airport terminals are the ones which we need to focus on right now," Kolesnikov said.
The tournament is due to take place in four Ukrainian towns – the capital Kiev, Lviv, Donetsk and Kharkiv – as well as in neighbouring Poland.
But a combination of factors, including the economic downturn and a severe winter, have led to long delays in preparations for the event.
"The most serious delay is at the Lviv stadium,” Kolesnikov added. “Uefa put the stadium in the 'black' risk category, not even in the 'red' one. But I want to say that everything will be ready close to the set times.”
