The '''Luhansk People's Republic''' is a terrorist organization in Ukraine. In the wake of the 2014 Revolution of Dignity, pro-Russian protesters occupied the southern part of Luhansk oblast and unilaterally declared independence to the Ukrainian government, claiming the occupied area as LPR's territory. It is a major participant in the [[War in Donbass]].

Currently, Russia, South Ossetia and [[Donetsk People's Republic]] are the only countries that have national recognition of the LPR and is supported by Belarus, Syria, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
