俄罗斯支持乌克兰分离分子选举

Russia announced Tuesday it will recognize the results of upcoming elections in two separatist regions of eastern Ukraine.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the voting scheduled for November 2 would be important for the "legitimization of power" in the unrecognized "People\'s Republics" of Donetsk and Luhansk.

While the rest of Ukraine headed to the polls on Sunday, nearly three million voters were unable to cast ballots in the eastern part of the country, where months of fighting between Ukrainian government forces and Russia-backed separatists has killed more than 3,700 people.

Eastern Ukraine\'s rebel leaders, who launched a rebellion against the Kyiv government in April, said they would conduct their own poll.

U.S. President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States will not recognize elections in separatist-controlled areas unless they comply with Ukrainian law and are held with the consent of the Ukrainian government.

俄罗斯外长拉夫罗夫表示，定于11月2号举行的选举，对于没有得到国际间认可的“顿涅斯克和卢甘斯克共和国”的“权力合法化”来说很重要。

在乌克兰境内其他地方，人们在刚刚过去的这个星期天投票选举。但是在乌克兰东部地区，有近三百万选民没有参与投票。过去几个月来的乌克兰政府军和俄罗斯支持的分离主义者之间的交战已经导致三千七百多人丧生。

乌克兰东部的反叛领导人说要单独举行投票。由俄罗斯支持的东部分离人士在今年四月发动了反政府的攻势。

美国总统奥巴马星期一表示，美国不会承认由反叛分离人士在他们所控制地区所举行的选举的结果，除非选举符合乌克兰法律、并且在乌克兰政府同意的情况下进行的。
