Igor Venediktovich Plotnitsky[a] (born 25 June 1964) is a former Ukrainian separatist leader who served as the head[2] of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic, in eastern Ukraine, from 14 August 2014 to 24 November 2017.[3] He was born 26 June 1964 either in Luhansk[4] or in the town of Kelmentsi,[5] Chernivtsi Oblast.[6] Plotnitsky himself did not issue a public statement on 24 November 2017, but on that day a Luhansk People's Republic website claimed he had resigned as their president.[7] On 25 November the 38-member People's Council of the self-proclaimed state unanimously approved Plotnitsky's resignation.[8]
