KIEV, June 3 - Russia's Lukoil will restart LLC Karpatnaftokhim, a Lukoil-controlled petrochemicals plant in Kalush in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, on August 2.

"The launch is scheduled for August 2," Oleksandr Kalenkov, first deputy head of the State Agency for Corporate Rights and Property, told reporters.

The plan has incurred losses of UAH 10 million a month since it came to a standstill in August last year.
