President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin congratulated the Head of the LPR Leonid Pasechnik on the Day of the Lugansk People's Republic.

“Dear Leonid Ivanovich,

Please accept my warm congratulations on the occasion of the Day of the Lugansk People's Republic.

The LPR citizens meet their national holiday in difficult circumstances, with weapons in their hands defending their native land. I am sure that in our joint efforts we will defend independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic and the signed on February 21 Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Aid will provide a sound basis to consolidate fraternal, allied relations between our countries.

I sincerely wish you strong health and success, and to all the people of Lugansk – resilience, courage and determination in the struggle for a peaceful and safe future.

Sincerely,
V. Putin.”
