We welcome and consider as legitimate the decision of the President of the Russian Federation to recognise the state sovereignty and independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, an official statement said
Further development of relations with the Republics is being discussed at the country’s leadership level. We are ready for consultations with representatives of the Republics about the parameters of development of our relations.
Previously, Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua recognized the LPR.
