The heads of the DPR and LPR Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik appealed to Vladimir Putin with a request to assist in repelling aggression from the Ukrainian Armed Forces in order to avoid civilian casualties and avert a humanitarian catastrophe in the Donbass, Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the head of the Russian state, said.
"Russian President Vladimir Putin received letters from the head of the Lugansk People's Republic, Leonid Pasechnik, and the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin. The heads of these republics, on their own behalf and on behalf of their people, once again express gratitude to the president of Russia for the recognition of their states," Peskov said.
The spokesman also said that Pushilin and Pasechnik mentioned that the situation remains tense in Donbass, and people continue to evacuate.
"The actions of the Kiev regime testify to the unwillingness to end the war in the Donbass," the letter read, as quoted by Peskov, adding that Donbass leaders also say "the Kiev regime aims to solve the conflict by force."
