I've seen several online stores selling Wolf ammo made at the Luhansk plant in Ukraine. From what I've seen, most of Luhansk is under rebel control right now. Was this ammo imported before the war started? It would be surprising to me that ammo made in Luhansk would still be making it into the U.S. with all the violence going on.

Yes, sort of. Some of it may have been made after the fighting started but before the plant was taken by rebels/"rebels"; it's unlikely, but possible. None of it was manufactured after the occupation as its importation was banned as part of the Russian trade sanctions. So anything you see on shelves now made at Luhansk was imported prior to June of this year.

He's pretty spot on.

I'd be surprised if we see ammo coming here out of Luhansk in many years. If ever again.

Can someone post up where any official document states that ammo form the Luhansk has been banned form import?

It is in the the Luhansk People’s Republic.

The following two entities and one individual are being designated and blocked today pursuant to E.O. 13660 for threatening the peace, security, stability, sovereignty, or territorial integrity of Ukraine.

The Treasury Department has determined that the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) has asserted governmental authority over a part or region of Ukraine without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine. The self-proclaimed LPR has asserted governmental authority through a number of actions, including issuing a declaration of martial law; banning the sale of corporate rights, production facilities, companies, and other assets; controlling the border guard checkpoints of Izvarino, Dolzhanskoye, and Krasnyi Partizansk on the Ukrainian-Russian border; and, shooting down a Ukrainian military transport jet as it attempted to land in Luhansk. The LPR also elected a leader and passed its own constitution on May 11, 2014.


Not to mention it was reportedly looted by a Russian convoy in August (as reported by Janes)

Overhead photos on numerous websites show the trucks parked outside some of these looted facilities, which include the Topaz Holding Company in the city of Donetsk, the Lugansk Cartridge Works (LCW), and one of the satellite production facilities of the Motor Sich aero-engine production association.
