In April 2014, pro-Russian separatists declared the creation of the Luhansk People's Republic.[3] By September, Separatist forces gained control over the city and nearby areas as Ukrainian forces withdrew.[4] Since then, the city council has been de facto suspended as Ukrainian forces do not control the city.
