Residents of eastern Ukraine on 11 May were voting in an independence referendum that was organized by pro-Russian separatists and rejected by the government in Kiev. Russian-speakers and supporters of Moscow have been rallying in the region since March, when a referendum on independence led to Russia's annexation of Crimea. The pro-Russian organizers of the referendum were pushing ahead with the vote despite Russian President Vladimir Putin had appealed them to postpone it. (Photo by Roman Pilipey/EPA)
