“I have decided to suspend my work at the post of head of the Luhansk
People’s Republic. The consequences of my wound are not allowing me to
fully dedicate myself to this work for the benefit of all citizens of
Luhansk in this difficult time of war,” Bolotov told reporters on
Thursday, Aug. 14.
Bolotov said he has already held consultations with his colleagues
from the LPR authorities and “a decision has been adopted to ask Ihor
Plotnitsky, who today holds the post of defense minister, to head our
republic.”
“I am not going to leave the frontline,” he added.
“I am a native of Luhansk. My home is here. And I will continue to
fight for our common ideals. I am convinced that our struggle will be
crowned with success,” he added.

It was announced on Aug. 7 that Oleksandr Borodai had left the post
of prime minister of the self-proclaimed “Donetsk People’s Republic”
(DPR).
“DPR Prime Minister Borodai told a press conference in Donetsk that he is stepping down,” the Novorossiya news agency reported.
The DPR leadership confirmed Borodai’s resignation.
“The republic’s government will be led by one of the Oplot
organization leaders, Oleksandr Zakharchenko,” the DPR said on its
Twitter account.
Borodai himself said he would continue working as the first deputy prime minister.
“I can call myself a crisis manager. The crisis in the DPR is gone
now, and this office [prime minister] doesn’t need my work any longer,
so I have new tasks and a new office,” Borodai said.
