Moscow, April 20: The work on the opening of Russian embassies in the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics (DPR and LPR) is underway, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Yevgeny Ivanov said on Wednesday.

“The work is underway, relevant agreements are being concluded,” Ivanov told reporters.

There is no date set for the opening of diplomatic missions yet, the official added.

Russia is not ruling out blockage of assets of embassies if foreign countries make such moves against Moscow, the minister said.
