MOSCOW, March 22. /TASS/. Ukraine and Russia need to work their way of lifting mutual sanctions to ensure normal bilateral trade, Ukrainian presidential candidate Yuri Boyko told reporters after his meeting with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Friday.

"We are satisfied by the start of the talks, because we need to go all the way of lifting mutual restrictions in trade and allowing our goods into Russia’s market. That’s because this concerns our jobs and the work of our enterprises, and this is very important for our country’s economy," Boyko said.
