"Despite to the fact that there is very difficult situation, 2014 will be better than 2013. We do with our President that 2014 will be truly the year of out of the crisis. We got better relations with Russia, we agreed on the normal gas price. There will be reduced gas prices for industry during this year," Mykola Azarov said, adding that the normal operation of the industry will provide new jobs, higher wages and pensions and so on.

The Prime Minister thanked the citizens for supporting the adoption of the State Budget. "Do Lviv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk regions not need adopted today budget? People living in these regions have to understand that it is necessary to support those who are working. Is it normal that hundreds of people are not doing anything at the Maidan for two months? They need to work and contribute to the development of our country. We have adopted a budget for the entire country. We do not divide it neither to the East and West, North and South - it is one for us, and we will do everything that it develops," the Prime Minister said.

Mykola Azarov said that the opposition opposed the adoption of the main budget estimate of the country, because it stands for the deteriorating of situation in the country.

"For them, the worse the better, since you can blame everything on the president and government", - concluded the Prime Minister.

"For them, the worse the better, as they can shift everything on the President and the Government," the Prime Minister concluded.
