The Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) is a disputed entity in eastern Ukraine's Luhansk Oblast. The LPR historically sought to be recognised as independent after breaking away from Ukraine but was annexed by Russia on 30 September 2022. The status is now as an unrecognised Russian republic.
The LPR is closely linked to the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), which has a nearly identical political status and history of formation.
The LPR has foreign relations with Russia,[1][2] North Korea,[3] and Syria,[4][5] as of July 2022. The LPR also maintains relations with South Ossetia and Abkhazia, two breakaway states that are claimed by Georgia. The LPR and DPR mutually recognise each other.
