Russia has recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR) within their de facto borders, Andrey Klimov, deputy head of the Federation Council committee on international affairs, said on the air of the Rossiya-24 TV channel (VGTRK).
According to him, “we are talking, of course, about those territories that are within the boundaries established today.” Klimov stressed that “everything else is outside the scope of those specific legal actions that we have just observed and that will take place tomorrow.”
As Interfax notes, the territory of the republics described in the constitutions of the DPR and LPR coincides with the territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine. At the same time, the territory actually under their control is approximately two times smaller.
Recall that on February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the independence of the Donbass republics. He also instructed the Russian military to ensure the maintenance of peace on the territory of the DNR and LNR.
