KIEV, Aug. 8 - Prime Minister Mykola Azarov believes that Ukraine will have a good harvest this year and next.

"We have threshed 31 million tons of wheat. This is an excellent result. I hope that the last days will stand serene, as we need to harvest grains from another one million hectares," he told reporters in the village of Pyrohove near Kiev on Saturday, where he attended the international ethnic festival "Harvest 2011."

"I think we will do this in two or three days, and we and our children will have a wonderful yield this year, which will be enough for this year and the next one," the premier said.
