“You feel an amazing feeling of unity with the people of Russia, the involvement of the Lugansk region in the fate of our Great country after the President’s message to the Federal Assembly,” Pasechnik wrote on Telegram.

He also noted that Russia believes and counts on the people of Donbass, so the Luhansk region will be one of the most developed regions of Russia.

Earlier, Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko commented on the message of Russian leader Vladimir Putin to the Federal Assembly.
