Implications of the establishment of the People's Republic of Lugansk
Following Donetsk decided to create their own republic also advocates the federalization of Lugansk.Thus, the area of the ATO, deciphering which begins to lose its meaning has expanded.Now half the area of the eastern provinces were full-fledged fighting that eventually more and more like war.
