Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov delivers remarks following first ever talks with Foreign Minister of the LPR Vladislav Deynego and First Deputy Foreign Minister of the DPR Sergey Peresada on Friday.
On February 21, having considered requests by Donetsk and Lugansk, President Vladimir Putin resolved to recognise these two republics as sovereign and independent states. Corresponding executive orders were signed. Based on these executive orders, diplomatic relations were established between the Russian Federation and these two republics on February 22.
"Today, during the talks in this new capacity, we exchanged views on specific matters of interaction, including rather pressing issues such as steps to open embassies for the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Lugansk People’s Republic in Moscow and, accordingly, Russian diplomatic missions in Donetsk and Lugansk," Lavrov said.
