Voting continues in 'illegal' eastern Ukraine independence referendum

Voting is continuing in eastern Ukraine on its independence from Ukraine.

The poll in Donetsk and Luhansk provinces has been declared illegal by both Kiev and the international community and marks a serious deepening of the political crisis in Ukraine.

The French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel fear it will lead to further destabilisation of Ukraine.

Sky's Katie Stallard is in Donetsk and says their some confusion over the ballot paper.

"The coordinator...said people were voting for 'a process', that if there is appetite for a form of self-determination, they will then be able to decide what form that should take," she said.
