It's the first time that a top official in the Russian Federation is visiting the occupied areas. Military commanders and defense officials have been in the areas previously but Medvedev's visit so far is the most high-profile visit to the occupied region.

In a post on Telegram, Medvedev pointed out that on Thursday "I visited the Luhansk People's Republic where I met with the heads of the LPR [so-called Luhansk People's Republic], Leonid Pasichnyk, and the DPR [so-called Donetsk People's Republic], Denys Pushylin."
