It was formulated for the referendum by the Interim Council of Representatives of Territorial Communities, Parties and Public Organizations of the DPR

- ... We are soul, and body, and thoughts - together with Russia! In short, after long consultations with the expert community, scientists, psychologists, we came to the conclusion: there will be only one question. The Interim Council of representatives of territorial communities, parties and public organizations of the Donetsk People's Republic decided to approve the text of the question at a referendum on May 11: "Do you support the proclamation of a sovereign Donetsk People's Republic with its subsequent entry into the Customs Union?"

The gentleman, to whom those present addressed "Boris Alekseevich", looked around the audience, which respectfully fell silent. Historic moment! However, someone still asked:

— Boris Alekseevich, how was the question in the Crimea?

“A little differently,” the head of the expert group did not go into details.

- But still?

“They no longer need to proclaim independence. They are there almost in advance...

The speaker rubbed his palms expressively and snapped his fingers. (A video about how the discussion of the topic went was posted on YouTube to demonstrate the openness of intentions by the Donetsk "republicans" themselves.)

- I'm a lawyer! came from the other end of the table. - The last word is still with the people! And if they do not want to support an independent republic? If "no" says 70 percent, what then? Better - "I support the DPR as an autonomous republic within Ukraine." In Lugansk, this is how they will formulate ...

Boris Alekseevich shook his head negatively.

— In Luhansk, everything changes every day!

- They will answer “no” - that means we are not joining the Customs Union! And our republic itself can no longer be killed, destroyed! She is fifteen days old today! a man with a bushy beard joined in the discussion eagerly.

As a result, we agreed on the wording "Do you confirm the Declaration on the proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and its sovereignty?" Denis Pushilin, co-chairman of the so-called coalition government, said that "after Ukraine began aggression against the DPR", they are not on the way with Kiev. But unification with similar "republics" of the east is possible.

From the editor. On Thursday, when the room was rented, the leaders of the DPR announced a general mobilization in the Donetsk region. Russia began exercises near the western borders "due to the aggravation of the situation in the south-east of Ukraine."
