According to the council's decision, this is a response to the current political situation in Ukraine and anti-constitutional actions of opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko. The referendum is aimed at introducing changes in Ukraine's Constitution aimed at making the Donetsk region an independent republic within a federal Ukrainian state. <<
