“Luhansk People’s Republic” declares war on “Donetsk People’s Republic”

Chairman of the self-proclaimed “Luhansk People’s Republic” (LPR) Valery Bolotov declared war on the leadership of “Donetsk People’s Republic” (DPR), Bolotov’s press service reports.

Bolotov believes that the cleaning of Donetsk by the forces of the anti-terrorist operation conducted by the Ukrainian government and the city’s submission to the Ukrainian army is a crime committed by the DNR head Denis Pushilin against his own people.

“On LPR’s territory Denis Pushilin and his inner circle are considered to be traitors and persona non grata. According to the laws of war, as traitors to their own people, they are subject to liquidation,” said the head of the LPR. He added that he considers the head of the DPR an outlaw and declares war on him.
