Ukrainians in Donetsk announced the formation of a government for their self-declared breakaway state, as NATO’s chief warned of further Russian intervention in the run-up to May 25 elections.
Alexander Boroday will be prime minister of the “Donetsk People’s Republic,” Dmitry Gau, a spokesman for the separatist group, said by phone late yesterday. Donetsk and Luhansk held unofficial referendums on secession last weekend, announcing large majorities in favor.
