The EU does not recognize the elections in the LPR and imposed sanctions against their organizers.
- The elections of the heads of the Republics and deputies of the People's Councils held in the LPR and DPR do not contradict the letter and spirit of the Minsk agreements, the representative of the Republic in the humanitarian subgroup of the Contact Group, head of the LPR working group on the exchange of prisoners of war Olga Kobtseva said.[6]
