Putin supported the idea to equate the military of the DNR and LNR to the Russian military

The proposal was made by the head of the party "Fair Russia - For the Truth" Sergei Mironov.

“As for equating the servicemen of the LPR and DPR with Russian servicemen, I fully support this.

In practice, this is being implemented, ”RIA Novosti quotes Putin’s statement at a meeting with the leaders of factions in the State Duma.

In March, the Russian leader signed a federal law that gives participants in the special military operation in Ukraine and Donbass the status of combat veterans.
