KIEV, March 24 - Ukraine hopes for compromise in the hitherto unsettled aspects of trade cooperation with Russia at the World Trade Organization negotiations, Deputy Prime Minister Hryhoriy Nemyria said in an interview in the Monday issue of the weekly Business.

"I think Ukraine will be a member of the working group on the Russian accession to the WTO. Our position is unaltered: Ukraine has always favored a free trade zone with Russia," he said.
