UEFA has given Ukraine's latest efforts to be ready to co-host the 2012 European Championships with Poland their approval.
There had been concerns over delayed work to stadia and airports which had put Ukraine's position in jeopardy, leading to a possible Plan B of another country taking over.
A meeting of the Euro 2012 steering group was able to deliver good news for Ukraine who had been threatened with either Germany or Hungary taking over their place as co-hosts, with UEFA president Michel Platini telling them back in April they had two months to make changes.
UEFA said in a statement: "There is no reason for UEFA to look into alternatives - so-called 'Plan B' - if this plan is respected and delivered.
"There are, however, no signs at all that Kiev will not be in a position to host Euro 2012."
The world financial crisis, political problems and severe winter weather had held up infrastructure work in Kiev, Donetsk, Kharkiv and Lviv.
