Confederation with Luhansk won't influence Donetsk independence - Bolotov

LUHANSK. June 29 (Interfax) - Head of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic Valery Bolotov said the formation of a union of people's republics will not influence the Luhansk People's Republic's independence.

Bolotov described the formation of a confederation with the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic as a movement with common plans and interests.

"It goes without saying we are helping each other and we will continue moving along our chosen course jointly, but independently," he said.
