The leader of the self-declared Luhansk People’s Republic, Leonid Pasechnik, says he hopes to travel to Moscow on Tuesday (27) or Wednesday (28) to request that Russian President Vladimir Putin accept the region into the Russian Federation.
According to comments from the Luhansk Media Center, Pasechnik said he had prepared an appeal to the President of the Russian Federation “to consider, in accordance with the procedure established by law, the question of the entry of the Luhansk People’s Republic into Russia”.
Pasechnik was quoted as saying: “I very much hope that in the near future, today or tomorrow, I will go to Moscow. I have prepared a corresponding appeal to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin with a request to consider the matter in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation of the Russian Federation on the entry of the Luhansk People’s Republic into Russia as a subject of the Russian Federation.”
More context: Early results of the widely discredited referendum process in Luhansk and three other regions occupied by Russian forces show a large majority in favor of joining Russia, according to Russian state media.
The referendums were rejected as a farce and against international law in Kiev and by Western governments.
