comes to an end. but first pro-russian separatists in eastern ukraine have a victory on self rule and the majority of people who voted are in favor of p move and final is coming in the next few hours and we are meeting in brussels to talk about the crisis and russia has talk about the preliminary results and they said should lead to new talks between the government and separatist leaders. >> translator: the official results will be announced soon but we treat with respect the decision of the voters and we believe a practical implementation of these results will lead to talks between kiev and eastern regional leaders and further discussions in security in western europe. >> reporter: we are live in

kiev and we have been listening to what sergei fedorov is saying and what else did he have to say? >> he is talking about diplomacy but i think what is really crucial here is he believes that moscow or ukraine should implement the results of this referendum and as you heard in doing so without provocations from kiev he is talking about this antiterrorism operation in the east that would facilitate dialog between the regions. i think the question now is how willing to get involved will russia be and russia said it's not willing to launch a military encoursion not on the agenda and this is something he is not willing to do and sergei fedorov went on to say saying dialog in

the east will be crucial to deescalating this crisis. ukraini ukrainians in parliament say ukraine is not willing to talk to those who have blood on their hands and the government is willing to negotiate with representatives from the east but not involved in taking over buildings and not those who are armed. i point out to say that we heard along the referendum in the east is illegal and i'llegitimate an 32% of the people in the dansk and other regions turned out to vote through the i lligitimacy. >> can you gave the response and pew tin asked it be postponed and we just heard from sergei fedorov talking about more
