"Leonid Ivanovich, I congratulate you on the assumption of the office of acting Head of the Lugansk People's Republic! It is not an easy task in the circumstances of war and economic blockade, but I am sure you shall cope with it with honor. I am also sure that together we shall effectively withstand Kiev's aggression and build peaceful life," Zakharchenko said.
