Editing Igor Plotnitsky (section)

=== Conflict with Cossaks ===
Members of Russian Cossaks, particularly Pavel Dryomov blamed Plotnitsky in embezzlement of state property and called for an armed coup-d'état against Plotnitsky. The statement came out on 31 December 2014 soon after a major conflict between supporters of Plotnitsky and the Russian Cossaks in Antratsyt during which according to the RNBO were killed 18 people and disappearance of a leader of Russian Cossaks Nikolay Kozitsyn. Dryomov also pointed out that the regional administration (of Luhansk Oblast) is being controlled by "people of Oleksandr Yefremov", while Plotnitsky was promoted by another Ukrainian parliamentarian Natalia Korolevska. Another conflict ensued in the city of Rovenky on 21 January 2015 and another street fight with use of grenade launchers and armoured personnel vehicles in Krasny Luch on 28 February 2015.
