SBU releases evidence of preparations for separatist 'referendum' on instructions from Russia

 The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has received irrefutable evidence proving that the Russian side is preparing for and coordinating activities on the holding in Ukraine's eastern regions of the so-called "referendum" on the creation of the "Donetsk People's Republic," with the results that are known in advance, the SBU press service has reported.
SBU posted on its YouTube channel an audio recording of a conversation between the head of the Russian Unity movement, Alexander Barkashov (Moscow), and the leader of the unregistered Orthodox Donbass organization, Dmytro Boitsov (Donetsk).
During the conversation Boitsov asks for Russian military support for the successful holding of the so-called referendum on May 11. Barkashov, in turn, proposes falsifying the results of the referendum.
