The issue of the borders of new subjects when entering the Russian Federation is defined

The boundaries of the Donetsk People’s Republic are determined by the boundaries of its territory on the day of formation and the day of acceptance into the Russian Federation, according to the agreement submitted for ratification to the State Duma of the Russian Federation by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Also, according to the text of the documents that are published in the database of the Russian parliament, the boundaries of the territory of the Lugansk People’s Republic will be determined by the boundaries of the territory of the republic that existed on the day of its formation and the day it was accepted into the Russian Federation.

The issue of the borders of the Zaporozhye region and the Kherson region, in which they become subjects of the Russian Federation, is interpreted similarly – “on the day of formation and the day of admission to the Russian Federation.”
