The Ukrainian government's envoy for cooperation with Russia, CIS member countries, the Eurasian Economic Community and other regional associations, Valeriy Muntiyan, believes that the Ukrainian parliament will ratify the agreement on the establishment of a free trade area within the Commonwealth of Independent States.

"I’m sure, because we are following and monitoring everything… that concerns Ukraine… The Economic Development and Trade Ministry filed the treaty to the Foreign Ministry. The Foreign Ministry has already forwarded it to the presidential administration and soon the president will send it to the Verkhovna Rada for ratification," Muntiyan said on Era FM Radio on Thursday evening.
