乌克兰东部亲俄分离分子说，顿涅茨克人民共和国的代理总理赢得星期天的选举。基辅和西方各国则表示不会承认选举结果。
分离主义分子控制的乌克兰卢甘斯克和顿涅茨克地区星期天举行了领导人和议会选举。所谓的顿涅茨克人民共和国的选举官员星期一说，亚历山大·扎哈尔琴科赢得79%的选票。
联合国、欧盟和美国都表示，反叛分子的这次投票是非法的，它违反了乌克兰宪法以及九月五日分离分子和乌克兰政府达成的停火协议。
新任欧盟外交事务专员费代丽卡·莫盖里尼星期天说，欧盟不承认此次选举。她称此次选举是“通往乌克兰和平之路上的一个新的障碍。”
Pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine say the acting prime minister of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic has won an election that Kyiv and the West have made clear they will not recognize.
Election officials said Monday that Alexander Zakharchenko received about 79 percent of Sunday's vote as part of the elections for leadership and legislative bodies in areas the separatists control in Ukraine's Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
The United Nations, the European Union and the United States have called the rebel vote illegal, saying it violates Ukraine's constitution and the cease-fire agreement reached September 5 between separatists and Ukraine's government.
The EU's new foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said Sunday that the bloc would not recognize the vote, which she called "a new obstacle on the path towards peace in Ukraine."
