Ukraine's new cabinet showcased a mix of newcomers and veterans dominated by politicians loyal to President Viktor Yanukovych.
The 21-member cabinet led by Prime Minister Mykola Azarov is expected to revive the economy of the country and chart a balanced foreign policy, experts say.
Azarov, who resigned with his cabinet earlier this month following the October parliamentary election, was re-appointed prime minister. A Yanukovych ally, Azarov first became prime minister under the president in February 2010.
