A strip of land outside the British Embassy in Moscow will be named after the self-proclaimed separatist Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) in eastern Ukraine following an online poll, the city administration said in a statement on its website.
Last month, an intersection near the U.S. embassy was named "Donetsk People's Republic Square" after another Russian-backed breakaway state in Ukraine, also recognised only by Russia and Syria.
City councillors had initially proposed the name "Defenders of Donbas Square" - which the Embassy jokingly welcomed as a tribute to Ukrainian soldiers fighting Russian aggression.
