“Eastern Region” is an industrial park established in December 2020 in the town of Popasna in the Luhansk oblast. Currently, a manager to run this area for 30 years is being looked for. The Luhansk Regional State Administration hopes that it will attract more funds into the town’s economy, making it more attractive for investors. And the Ministry of Reintegration believes that Ukraine-controlled Donbas should become a platform for transformation. According to the Ministry, this way we show that Ukraine is successful, and Donetsk and Luhansk regions are part of Europe. Will these expectations come true?
