The Public Chamber of the LPR appealed to the head of the Republic with the initiative to immediately hold a referendum on joining Russia
The Public Chamber of the Luhansk People's Republic adopted an official appeal to the head of the LPR, Leonid Pasechnik, regarding the referendum. The appeal calls on the head of the republic to immediately hold a referendum on recognizing the LPR as a full-fledged subject of the Russian Federation.
The statement addressed by the OP of the LPR to the head of the republic states that joining Russia will bring the security of the LPR to a new level, and will also contribute to the realization of new opportunities on the way back to a full-fledged peaceful life.
Recall that in 2014, a referendum was already held in the Lugansk Republic in the controlled territories. Then the question concerned the state sovereignty of the People's Republic. According to the results of the plebiscite, more than 96% of the inhabitants of the Lugansk region at that time voted for secession from Ukraine. At the same time, the turnout was about 75% of the number of registered voters.
Official Kyiv called that referendum "illegitimate" on the grounds that it "violates the Ukrainian constitution." In response, Luhansk residents accused the then acting President of Ukraine Turchynov of hypocrisy, reminding him that he himself came to power by violating the state constitutional order. In Lugansk, they also reminded that the new Ukrainian “authorities” themselves do not have any legitimacy, since they seized power as a result of an anti-constitutional coup that caused numerous victims.
Now in the LPR they are calling for a referendum where citizens could speak out on the issue of joining the republic to the Russian Federation.
