Ukraine crisis: Pro-Russia rebel vote to go ahead
Three million ballot papers - enough for the whole Donetsk region - have been printed, reports Richard Galpin
Pro-Russian activists in eastern Ukraine have said they will not postpone a referendum on autonomy planned for Sunday.
The decision comes one day after Russian President Vladimir
Putin urged delaying the vote to create the conditions necessary for
dialogue.
Ukrainian authorities said "anti-terror" operations would continue regardless of the rebels' decision.
