Media: Plotnitsky terrorist is appointed "Prime Minister of the LPR"

"The Minister of Defense of the LPR" Igor Plotnitsky, who acted as the "head of the republic" after the resignation of Valery Bolotov, was appointed "Prime Minister". This was reported by RIA "Novosti" with reference to a certain source close to the "leadership of the LPR".

If the “Donetsk Republic” according to the “Constitution” is the “parliamentary” and its head is the “speaker of the Supreme Council”, and the key role in the “DPR” before the resignation of Alexander Boroday belonged to the “Prime Minister”, then in the “Lugansk Republic”, in addition to the posts of the “speaker of the Supreme Council” and the “premiere”, the post of “chapter” existed. Whether this post will be abolished with the appointment of Plotnitsky as a “prime minister”, and if not, then who will take it is not specified. It is also not reported whetherthe political strategist Marat Bashirov , a former top manager of the Renova group, owned by oligarch Viktor Viktor Vekselberg, remained in the “LPR leadership”.

Bolotov resigned on August 14 . At the same time, he stated that he was leaving his position temporarily. "The consequences of the injury ( received in May . - Ed.) Do not allow me to work with the full dedication of the strength for this post for the benefit of Luhansk residents in difficult wartime," the terrorist explained.

Plotnitsky, like Bolotov, is a defendant in the sanctions list of the European Union .
