First deputy chairman of the Lugansk People's Republic government Vladislav Kuznetsov has thanked Great Britain for putting him on the sanctions list.
Great Britain has added 42 people to the sanctions list including 29 governors of Russian regions who are providing assistance to Donbass Republics. LPR first deputy government chairman Kuznetsov and head of the DPR government Vitaly Khotsenko found themselves subject to sanctions as well.
“If it’s evaluation of my work, I say thanks. I’m pleased; I will carry on,” Kuznetsov said.
On February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the sovereignty of the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics. He asked the Federal Assembly to support this decision and then ratify a friendship and mutual assistance treaty with the Donbass Republics. On the same day, Putin and LPR Head Leonid Pasechnik signed a friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance treaty between Russia and the Lugansk People’s Republic. *i*s
