According to the leader of the self-proclaimed People’s Republic of Luhansk,  Ygor Plotnitski: “Due to the fact that Ukraine is not going to abolish the economic blockade [created as one of the measures against the areas controlled by the terrorists],  which has been one of the agreed conditions arranged in the memorandum, conditions in Ukraine got worse – any goods in the shops are vanishing from the shops. Considering all of the above, we have decided to adopt a multi-currency system in Luhansk”. 

Plotnitski stated that People’s Republic of Luhansk makes use of rubles, hryvnias, US dollars, and other currencies which may be useful.
