Kyiv to cooperate with Russian special envoy for purposes of lifting trade restrictions
The Ukrainian authorities will cooperate with the newly appointed special representative of the Russian president for trade and economic relations with Ukraine, primarily for the purposes of lifting trade restrictions, Ukrainian Deputy Economic Development and Trade Minister and Trade Representative Nataliya Mykolska said.
"We will be interacting with him in the first turn and, I would say, mostly for the purposes of lifting trade barriers imposed on Ukrainian goods in territory of the Russian Federation," she told reporters on Thursday.
Mykolska added that the appointment of the Russian presidential representative would not stop Ukraine's claim against trade restrictions imposed by Russia at the World Trade Organization (WTO).
"As soon as Mr. Appointee contacts us, we will probably discuss those matters with him in the first turn," she said.
Former Education and Science Minister Dmitry Livanov was appointed the Russian president's special representative for trade and economic relations with Ukraine in August.
