government during a meeting held in Lenin Square in Donetsk on Sunday.
Pushilin said the polls would be based on majority rule.
Nearly a thousand people gathered in the square, chanting pro-separation slogans and waving flags of Russia and the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, an Anadolu Agency correspondent reports from the scene.
