The administration of the Antratsit town and district of the Lugansk People’s Republic and the government of Russia’s Stavropol Territory have signed a cooperation agreement, a Town Hall report said.

The document was signed by Antratsit administration Head Sergey Saenko and Stavropol Territory governor Vladimir Vladimirov.

Saenko said in his welcoming speech that LPR and Russian specialists had examined the current situation in the local economy and social sphere.  “We’ll continue to cooperate aiming to improve the life of Antratsit residents,” he said.

Vladimirov said that the Stavropol authorities were “set to help people.” “We would very much like each resident to feel our support which our president (Vladimir Putin) urged us to provide. The objectives are clear; we’ll be working,” the Stavropol Territory governor said.
