The date of the plebiscite caused controversy in the room. Some of those gathered felt that waiting for May 11 was too long.
“We won’t have time to print the ballots!” - they began to explain from the presidium.
“We’ll make it!” - they shouted from the hall.
However, the decisive argument was that the date of May 11 was agreed upon with the Lugansk and Kharkov regions.
The meeting participants also adopted an appeal calling for the deployment of a Russian peacekeeping contingent in Donbass. After this, those gathered began chanting “Putin!”, “Russia!”
