Chairman of the Supreme Council of the DPR Boris LITVINOV: “Well, I don’t know what’s in Moscow... We ourselves have already decided that we will be independent, self-sufficient...”
In the official hierarchy of the DPR, Boris Litvinov is the second person after the still acting Prime Minister Alexander Zakharchenko. Zakharchenko is in charge of questions of the war, while Litvinov, as they say, is in charge of "the formation of a peaceful life." The author of the declaration on the sovereignty of the DPR, the developer of its Constitution and laws, Litvinov now heads the Supreme Council of the unrecognized republic.
