KIEV, March 12 – The new Cabinet of Ministers will focus on the country's economic development and strengthening the middle class, according to a statement by Prime Minister Mykola Azarov.

"We will make every effort for Ukraine to become a state with no sharp property contrasts, where the middle class will account for more than half of the population. The gross domestic product per capita should be at a level of at least that of the new European Union members," the statement reads.
