Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic

As of yesterday the Russian Federation recognized two parts of Eastern 
Ukraine and it is expected that many United Nation member countries, 
closely related to Russia, will endorse that recognition. Many seasoned 
DXers are now asking whether there will be one or two ATNOs in the  
making? The Daily DX presented that question to OH2BH, Martti Laine,  
DXCC architect from that region and here is his answer.

“No I am not on my way to Donetsk or Luhansk, but the question is indeed 
rather interesting”, Martti stated. “As all potentially new political 
entities, as an addition of the criteria itself, should go through a 
quick chemical test; Are they member of the United Nations and/or part 
of the U.S State Department list of Independent States in the World?”

As in both cases the answer is no and it is very unlikely that they 
would be considered.

Earlier today the NATO Secretary General stated “In 2015, the United 
Nations Security Council, which includes Russia, reaffirmed its full 
respect for the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of 
Ukraine. Donetsk and Luhansk are part of Ukraine”.
