The Donetsk People's Republic (DPR or DNR) (Russian: Доне́цкая Наро́дная Респу́блика, tr. Donétskaya Naródnaya Respúblika; IPA: [dɐˈnʲɛtskəjə nɐˈrodnəjə rʲɪˈspublʲɪkə], Ukrainian: Донецька Народна Республіка, Donets'ka Narodna Respublika) is a self-proclaimed state in the Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine. It has been recognized only by the partially recognized Republic of South Ossetia. It receives humanitarian and military backing from Russia. The Ukrainian government has designated it as a terrorist organization and it is at war with Ukraine, alongside the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR). It formed an unrecognized confederation of Novorossiya, referencing the corresponding historical region and its name with the also unrecognized LPR until its 20 May 2015 suspension, and since February 2015 has postured itself as the successor to the historic Donetsk–Krivoy Rog Soviet Republic. Along with the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic and the Republic of Crimea, the Donetsk People's Republic is one of what the Ukrainian government calls the "temporarily occupied territories".
