Acting head of the LPR Leonid Pasechnik wrote about this on Telegram.

“Particular attention should be paid to the families of servicemen participating in the NMD, migrants and all those who find themselves in a difficult life situation.

I propose to abandon expensive celebrations and corporate parties, sending funds to support our army, ”he said.

Pasechnik stressed that "the New Year will take place in the Lugansk People's Republic."

Earlier in St. Petersburg, they decided to cancel the planned festive events on the occasion of the New Year.
