“Many of the members of the previous team will remain in their places, but, of course, changes are indispensable,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Earlier, the head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, dismissed the government of the republic.

It is specified that the current Cabinet of Ministers of the DPR will fulfill its duties until the formation of a new government.

Pushilin also appointed Vitaliy Khotsenko as chairman of the government of the Donetsk People's Republic.
