Leonid Pasechnik was inaugurated as head of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) during a ceremony on Wednesday.
“We survived betrayal, deaths of relatives and friends, years of uncertainty in the future. In light of all this, it is especially important that the elections, which we held, were in accordance with all international standards," he said during his speech.
Pasechnik secured 68.3 percent of the vote in elections held earlier this month.
Ukraine, the EU and US have refused to recognise the results of the elections, arguing they undermine the Minsk agreements.
According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov, the elections in the DPR and LPR did not violate the agreements.
