May 11 – At 8 am the voting at a ''referendum'' on the status of the region began in Donbas region. The “referendum” was organized by armed separatists. The ballot featured one question: “Do you support the act of state independence of the “People's Republic of Donetsk''” (the republic has been proclaimed by the separatists). "Referendum" is being held at gunpoint. Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has stated that the “referendum” and provocations were instigated by terrorist groups that are well-trained and equipped to current Russian standards.

According to Lyagin, issues concerning the future the oblast – whether to remain a part of Ukraine or join Russia – will be resolved later.

Maidan Community Sector, Lviv: Dear friends!

By annexing Crimea, Russia has carried out an act of aggression against Ukraine. Currently Russia is transferring terrorist and sabotage groups to Eastern Ukraine. Russia aims to prevent legitimate presidential elections from happening. Everyday life in Eastern Ukraine has turned into a continuous nightmare in the middle of Europe. Our country is being destroyed right before our eyes. We therefore take the courage to inform you about current events in Ukraine. This is just another point of view. We will do our best to remain objective.

P.S.: Please spread this appeal as much as possible.
