Monday results in the occupied territories of Donbass. The highlights

"Leader of the LPR" Igor Plotnitsky: "Ukraine believes that we nationalized or "seized" its enterprises. In fact, this is not truth. Especially since we gave them time and opportunity, we never concealed this, but we did not boast about this either. And in order to start rebuilding the republic, it was necessary to decide how and with whom to work and to trade".

Media: "The process of transition of non-resident enterprises to external management requires weighted solutions, and therefore it will take some time. This was stated by the head of the LPR Igor Plotnitsky. "I read some articles from both Russia and Ukraine. Everyone believes that it is up to one day to reconfigure industry. It is wrong to say that we will redirect everything in three days. This is a process, it has a beginning and an end. We cannot rush here, we approach this thoroughly", - said the head of the LPR".
