Ukraine: Donetsk leader Pushilin pushes ahead with referendum

Denis Pushilin, the leader of the Donetsk People's Republic autonomy group, said that activists will ignore the appeal of Russian President Vladimir Putin to postpone a planned referendum on independence during an interview with RT on Thursday.

According to Pushilin, pro-autonomy protesters are now in a state of civil war with the Kiev government, and the prospect of federalisation while remaining part of Ukraine has become remote at best.
