context_page_description: The Donetsk Republic is a pro-Russian separatist political party operating in the Donetsk area of Ukraine. The group's goal is the creation of a "federation of sovereign Donetsk", which would include seven regions of eastern and southern Ukraine. The group was banned in 2007, but this ban was marginal until the 2014 Donbass War. In 2014, it founded the Donetsk People's Republic, which Ukraine's government calls a terrorist organization. The party won the 2014 Donbass general elections with 68.53% of the votes and 68 seats.
