As UNIAN reported earlier, the Russian-controlled puppet republics – the "Donetsk People's Republic ("DPR") and the Luhansk People's Republic ("LPR") on November 11 held sham "elections" of the so-called "heads of people's republics" and "deputies of people's councils." The Kremlin has already greeted Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik as "heads" of the "DPR" and the "LPR," respectively.
