 Putin recognizes so-called "DPR" and "LPR"

Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic" and "Lugansk People's Republic", AzVision.az reports.

Vladimir Putin also signed documents on friendship and mutual assistance with the so-called "DPR" and "LPR".

Putin made the announcement in a televised address that followed a meeting on Monday of his Security Council. It comes against a backdrop of heightened concern over Russia’s sustained troop buildup near Ukraine, even as Moscow continues to deny its plans to invade. 

The diplomatic flurry continues to try and avert a potential conflict, although those efforts suffered a setback on Monday as Moscow said there were “no concrete plans” for a summit between Putin and U.S. President Joe Biden, throwing into question the fate of a French proposal publicized hours earlier. Biden is meeting with his national security team and being regularly briefed on the latest developments, a White House official said.
