Donetsk, Aug 29 - DAN. Donetsk People’s Republic Public Chamber representatives signed a cooperation agreement with their colleagues from the Lugansk People’s Republic at a ceremony at the Prokofiev State Academic Philharmonic in Donetsk on Thursday.
The document was signed by the chairmen of the DPR and LPR Public Chambers, Alexander Kofman and Alexey Karyakin, in the presence of PC members.
“The signing of a cooperation agreement between the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics Public Chambers is a new benchmark in the development of our friendly relations,” Kofman said. “We have one objective: integration with the Russian Federation.”
