Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov will celebrate the New Year with his family.

“First of all, it’s a tradition to celebrate New Year with family and friends. We used to start preparing for holidays in advance – we chose presents, prepared pleasant surprises for our friends, and of course I associate New Year holidays with cakes and various dishes,” Azarov wrote on Facebook on Friday.

He also said that his first toast in the new year will be to friends’ and relatives’ health, as “it’s the most important thing in our life.”

Azarov wished Ukrainians good health and well-being.
