Republic (LPR) is ready to relaunch industrial cooperation with Russia despite

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.
