Since December 2019 Ukrainian passports are no longer considered a valid identifying document in the DPR and Ukrainian license plates were also declared illegal. Meanwhile, the previous favorable view of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the DPR press was replaced by with personal accusations of "genocide" and "crimes against Donbas", and proposals of organizing a tribunal against him in absentia. In March 2020 Russian was declared to be the only state language of the DPR. In its May 2014 constitution DPR had declared Russian and Ukrainian its official languages.
