In February 2014, the Obama/Biden regime's Maidan coup transformed democratic Ukraine into Nazi-infested fascist rule.
In response, Donetsk and Lugansk held referendums weeks later for their people to decide on whether to go along or break away.
Results were overwhelming.
Almost 90% of Donetsk residents voted for self-determination.
In Lugansk, results showed 96.2% support for self-rule.
Popular sentiment to break away from Kiev was all about opposition to living under fascist rule.
Turnout was highnearly 75% in Donetsk, 81% in Lugansk.
Reflecting overwhelming popular sentiment, Lugansk People's Governor Valery Bolotov said the following:
"We have chosen our own path of independence from tyranny and bloody dictatorship by Kiev junta, from fascism and nationalism."
"We have chosen the path of freedom and the rule of law."
Co-chairman of Donetsk's people's Republic Denis Pushilin declared: "We, the people of Donetsk People's Republic"announce that the Republic, from now on, is a sovereign state."
It's "according to the will expressed by the residents of Donetsk."
