Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) is ready to relaunch industrial cooperation with Russia despite political difficulties, LPR head Igor Plotnitsky said.

LUGANSK (Ukraine) (Sputnik) — Eastern Ukraine's self-proclaimed Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) is ready to quickly relaunch industrial cooperation with Russia but the undetermined political status of the republic is standing in the way, LPR head Igor Plotnitsky said.

"We are ready to renew mutually beneficial industrial cooperation with Russia but the undetermined political status of the Lugansk People's Republic is hampering this," he told RIA Novosti in an interview.

He added that since local enterprises are legally considered Ukrainian, there is also a 20-percent tariff placed on production exports.
