The '''Donetsk People's Republic''' is a proto-state in the Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine recognized only by the partially recognized South Ossetia. It receives humanitarian and military backing from Russia. Ukraine has designated it as a terrorist group and is at war with the DPR and [[Luhansk People's Republic]] (LPR). It was part of the unrecognized Novorossiya confederation with the LPR until 20 May 2015, and since February 2015, has postured itself as the successor to the historic Donetsk–Krivoy Rog Soviet Republic. Along with the Luhansk People's Republic and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the Donetsk People's Republic is considered one of three temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine as a result of Russian military intervention of 2014.
