Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has said he is confident that Ukraine will have enough fresh water for hundreds of years.

"Ukraine has huge supplies of fresh water, and they will be enough for us for hundreds of years," he wrote in Friday on his page on Facebook, while communicating with users.

When asked whether Ukraine is facing the risk of fresh water shortages in the near future because of wasteful consumption, Azarov said: "Ukraine does not face such a problem."
