UKRAINE’S referendums in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk provinces earlier this month were met with condemnation from the West, especially the US.
Accusations of the electorate voting “at the barrel of a gun” were thrown at regions where almost 90 per cent in Donetsk and 96.2 per cent in Luhansk voted in favour of self-rule, on a near 90 per cent turnout.
Many did indeed vote at the barrels of guns. The guns of the junta in Kiev which, following a successful coup overthrowing an elected government, is now backed by the US, Britain, the EU and Nato.
