The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014.  The peace talks failed to reach tangible results due to Kiev’s position to settle the conflict by force.

 

The Lugansk People’s Republic acceded to Russia on September 30, 2022 following the unification referendum. *i*ie
