The Moscow-installed head of the occupied Luhansk region stated that Russian forces have secured total control over the territory.

An official report declared the entire area of the Luhansk People’s Republic fully liberated just two days prior.

This marks the second Ukrainian region to be entirely seized by Russia since the 2014 annexation of Crimea.

Earlier in 2025, Russia controlled 99% of Luhansk, following Ukrainian counteroffensives in late 2022 that reclaimed some towns.

Just two days ago, a report was released stating that the territory of the Luhansk People’s Republic has been completely liberated — 100%.
— Leonid Pasechnik, the Moscow-appointed head of Ukraine’s occupied Luhansk region, said this on Russia’s state-run Channel One.

Key FactsLegal Implications of the Crimea Annexation

Apr 30, 2025 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: berliner-zeitung.de

The Crimea is legally recognized as part of Ukraine, a fact acknowledged by Russia but not upheld since 2014.

A potential U.S. recognition of Crimea's affiliation with Russia would undermine the authority of international law and could serve as a precedent for other nations.

The annexation cannot be legitimized by the controversial 2014 referendum, which was conducted under non-free conditions and violated Ukrainian law.

The international legal framework does not support annexation, suggesting that a reversal of the situation may be necessary to prevent future conflicts.

Actually, yes.
— Brühl-Moser, on the necessity to reverse the facts.
