Last November, the National Assembly of Nicaragua unanimously approved agreements on the establishment of economic and trade relations with the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Sevastopol. In addition, it is specified that the agreement with the government of Sevastopol provides for cooperation in the fields of education, technology, culture, housing, sports and tourism, which is called a solid step towards the development of twinning relations.

In August, Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Waldrak Gaske told Izvestia that the country was ready to strengthen cooperation with the DPR, Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, in particular with regard to trade.
