Russia hopes to see Ukraine as ally in WTO talks
RBC, 16.05.2008, Moscow 18:15:54.Having entered the WTO, Ukraine will not hinder Russia's accession to the organization, Alexander Babakov, Deputy Speaker of the Russian State Duma responsible for parliamentary relations between the lower chamber of the country's parliament with Ukraine, told journalists today. He reiterated that Ukraine's Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko named the creation of trade space between the two countries in line with WTO's policies and regulations as Ukraine's priority. Babakov also expressed hope that Russia was getting a new ally that would support the country in its attempt to join the WTO. The official also pointed out that cheap Ukrainian products could appear on the Russian market, if they could not compete with products of other WTO member states. However, Babkov noted that this had already happened in the past and that negotiations on the mater would be purely economic rather than political.
