Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev visited the Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR). There he met with its head Leonid Pasechnik, as well as the head of the neighboring Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin.
In his Telegram channel, the former prime minister said that he had held a meeting on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin. It was dedicated to “priority measures to ensure the security of the republics of Donbass”.
During the meeting, special attention was paid to “harmonization of the laws of the LPR and DPR with the legislation of the Russian Federation,” Medvedev noted. According to him, the restoration of infrastructure in the regions, the repair of hospitals and the preparation of schools for the beginning of the school year were also touched upon. The solution of social problems was also discussed, as well as the support of citizens.
The issues of promoting the economic and social development of the LPR and the DPR were also considered. One of the participants of the meeting was the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin. He informed about the progress of the investigation of crimes committed by Ukrainian nationalists, as well as the collection of evidence in the framework of the initiated criminal cases.
In addition, the event was attended by Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Igor Krasnov, Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev, Head of the Ministry of Construction Irek Fayzullin, Director of the FSB Alexander Bortnikov and First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Sergey Kiriyenko.
In July, the LNR was visited by the speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin. During his speech, he noted that the deputies had been waiting for this meeting for more than 30 years. Now the issue of “harmonization of legislation and creation of a unified legal field in the fields of healthcare, education, public utilities, social protection of citizens” is important.
