Ukraine has called the self-rule referendums being held by pro-Russian separatists in two eastern provinces a "criminal farce" that were organized by Moscow. The Foreign Ministry said in a statement the vote was "inspired, organized, and financed by the Kremlin."
Serhiy Pashynskyy, the acting head of Ukraine's presidential administration, said no referendum was held by the separatists in "two-thirds of [the territory] of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions."
