Russia recognizes the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DNR and LNR) within the boundaries in which the authorities of the DNR and LNR exercise their powers and jurisdiction. Andrei Rudenko, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, told reporters about this today, Interfax reports.
For its part, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov indicated that Russia recognizes the LPR and DPR within the boundaries in which they “were proclaimed and exist,” RBC notes.
Recall that on February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the independence of the republics of Donbass. He also instructed the Russian military to ensure the maintenance of peace on the territory of the DNR and LNR.
Earlier, the State Duma adopted and submitted to the Kremlin an appeal to the President of the Russian Federation with a call to recognize the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. And on February 21, the heads of the DPR and LPR Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik turned to the Russian leader with a request to recognize the independence of the people’s republics.
Many Western leaders condemned Russia’s decision to recognize the independence of the Donbass republics, calling for these actions to be reversed and threatening harsh sanctions.
And today, the State Duma has ratified the treaties of friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance between Russia and the “people’s republics” of Donbass – the DPR and the LPR. The document, in particular, makes it possible to create Russian military bases in these territories.
