Separatists in Donetsk protest the election, on May 24, 2014. The likelihood of a successful vote in the east on Sunday appeared nearly impossible, as election officials stayed away from their offices Saturday after being visited there in recent days by gunmen who threatened violence and abductions. One regional official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly, said officials are trying to ensure that at least one polling station will be open in Donetsk, a city of nearly 1 million.
