Election commissions in Donetsk and Lugansk are still counting the ballots, but preliminary results show the majority of eastern Ukrainians supported self-rule, despite intensified military operation by Kiev which resulted in several deaths.

  After the last polling stating closed in Lugansk and Donetsk  regions at 23:00 local time (20:00 GMT), election commissions  began counting the votes.
  According to preliminary results – based on phone call reports  from local commissions – in Donetsk region 89.7% of votes were  cast in favour of political independence from Kiev. In Lugansk  region preliminary results have not yet been announced, but the  leader of the local “people’s front” said only around 5% voted  against the “Act of state self-rule of the Lugansk People's  Republic.”
  Central election commissions are yet to receive the official  reports from the polling stations across the regions. Earlier it  was said the documents would not be transported until the morning  over the fear of possible attacks and provocations.
  Despite fears that amid Kiev’s intensified military crackdown –  which killed at least two civilians on referendum day – the  turnout will be low, in both of the region it was unexpectedly  high. In Donetsk it reached 74.87%, while in Lugansk the central  election commission says 81% of eligible voters came to the  polling stations.

  With such a huge turnout, the referendums have been recognized as  valid by both election commissions.
  Kiev however, calling the regional voting on self-determination  illegal, sent its recently formed paramilitary forces in an  apparent move to disrupt referendums.
  As armored military vehicles blocked passage to polling stations,  voting in four towns across Lugansk region was disrupted. In the Donetsk town of  Krasnoarmeysk, the National Guard shot at a crowd and killed two civilians who  were protesting their attempt to seize a polling station.
  The final results are expected be announced during region wide  rallies on Monday.

按科索沃模式, 人权大于主权. 国际社会必须尊重乌克兰东部两地区公投的结果, 尊重当地居民的民主选择.

也不能说没有用，美国当局就常常利用民意为幌子夺取他国政权的。这次美国及几个欧洲小跟班政府不承认乌东地区公投结果，无疑会再次引起世人包括西方民众指责它们对民权的虚伪，Double standard，它们也要在政治上再次付出代价。

另外，乌东等地区的强烈独立意愿进一步显示了美帝背后支持的乌克兰临时政府夺权后，乌克兰已陷入四分五裂的内战状态。 它在5月底乌克兰大选重新执政的可能性已经越来越小。
