Well, I looked over the list of WTO members at
www.wto.org/wto/about/organsn6.htm
Most of them are as poor if not poorer than Ukraine. Let me give you some examples: Angola, Chad, Cuba (!!!), etc. The countries you listed tell for themselves. Have you ever been in Georgia after collapse of SU?
Thus, I DO NOT BELIEVE that our membership in WTO (or even in EC if they wanted use their which they don't) their will solve any of our economy problems.
As for our international isolation. Is it like new boogie man? If you do not do what big hats say Ukraine will be kicked out form some world organizations. Let me tell you what is the real situation is. More than half of our population is in poverty. They do have enough hardship providing for children. From here, the real danger is hungry mobes and riotes. If God forbids it happens Kichma will leave country. So will government and most of the parliament members. I am guessing that you already are not in the Fatherland. Am I wrong? That is why you talk about very abstract things.
Sorry, my answer is a little emotional.
Best regards.
