MOSCOW, September 17. /TASS/. Head of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) Igor Plotnitsky said that inclusion of his name in Ukraine’s sanctions list means that his merits in the cause of establishing LPR have been recognized.
"I perceive that not only as absurdity and agony of [Ukrainian President Petro] Poroshenko, but also as recognition of my merits and the merits of my colleagues in the establishment of the LPR, whose existence Maidan rulers of Kiev dislike so much," the LuganskInformCenter news agency quoted Plotnitsky as saying.
He said his name on the list testifies to the correctness of his actions as the republic’s head.
