The corresponding decree was signed by the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.

“To appoint Evgeniy Aleksandrovich Solntsev as Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Donetsk People’s Republic,” the document says.

Earlier, the government of the DPR was dismissed.

According to Pushilin, the change in the government of the republic was caused by the need to strengthen the integration processes.

Vitaly Khotsenko has been appointed as the new Prime Minister of the DPR.
