One of Luhansk warehouses of Ukrainian confectionary corporation Roshen that belong to president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has stopped working.

"At first we were put on unpaid leave and then [they] suggested that we write a letter of resignation. On the last day of our work, on June 16, representatives of illegal armed units of Luhansk occupied the building," former worker of the company told Interfax-Ukraine news agency.

According to him, company's products were left in the warehouse.

"This warehouse is the official distributor of Roshen in Luhansk region; these events did indeed happen there," company's press service told Interfax-Ukraine news agency.

Lately, the operation of Ukrainian military against gunmen of self-proclaimed "Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics" has been conducted in the east of Ukraine.
