Two new checkpoints between the Russia-controlled and Ukraine-controlled portions of Luhansk Region will open Nov. 10, according to a decision of the Trilateral Contact Group — Ukraine, Russsia and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, or OSCE. For the last six years, there has only been one crossing in Luhansk, at Stanytsia Luhansk. Ukraine banned trade between the two sections of the Donbas in 2017.
