On February 21, 2022, Russia recognized the independence of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), becoming the first recognized state to do so.[1] Documents issued by the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics have been valid in Russia since 2017. This allowed residents to work, travel, or study in Russia.[2]
Relations between the DPR and Russia have generally been close. Ukraine has accused Russia of aiding the DPR and the Luhansk People's Republic in their wars with Ukraine; Russia has denied this. Russia has issued 600,000 passports to residents of the republics since 2019. Ukraine also claims that Russia pays pensions for residents of the republics (Ukraine stopped paying after 2014).[3]
