after weeks of escalating tensions in ukraine today of a break for the russian leader vladimir putin says he's pulling his troops back from the ukrainian border and is urging pro kremlin separatists in the east to put off sunday's referendum on sovereignty. so is that a change of heart. ukraine's leaders are convinced. nato says it's the no signs of russian troops were trying to get over to our correspondents in moscow and ukraine in a moment but first this report. self proclaimed authorities in donetsk have begun printing ballots on sunday the separatists in eastern ukraine plan to hold a referendum on breaking away from kiev. but the vote could be postponed on the recommendation of the dhimmi putin the russian president that was the head of the osce. the main cooperation forum between east and west europe afterwards he made his surprising remarks. assume that they did it. we request

that representatives of ukraine se. and supporters of the generalization of the country. postpone the referendum that has been planned for may eleven with a pin. for the first time it seems russia's president is raining in the separatist movement in ukraine. putin also called ukraine's presidential election planned for may twenty fifth. i moved in the right direction the kremlin previously condemned it as illegitimate ukraine or reactions have been mixed. prime minister as idiots and york dismissed the statement as hot air. but on a visit to berlin the country's leading presidential candidate said putin's words were telling the whole message to referendum on the set from citizens' homes or who constantly gets the job. each was the clear light of this most would be will be accepted. that means people can be accepted and nobody knew. he he he love his songs

so with the things that we don't have it in the us. this is going to use. but on the ground in ukraine's east the fighting still rages ukrainian government troops battled pro russian revels in its lobby on skin mario paul after meeting with putin the head of the oic stressed that the priority now should be a truce. it has ample bowl it's very important that all political leaders. and especially the four signatories of the geneva agreements. it will be at three and now send a signal to put a stop to the findings and all provocations up with active you don't. the fact that the vessel to take the full council the separatist leader in donetsk said his people would consider potions recommendation. he added that his group holds the russian president in the utmost respect. our correspondent marcus graham joins us now from moscow. marcus is seems to be a change of heart from

present to you what's behind it. but i would be very careful how we interpret the cia the recent statements by a pregnancy for the tv fourteen. maybe it is just another smart move to buy some time and that to get those sites in this country to the chance to see their faces. um we hiked in a pre teen as saying that tonight he expected the authorities in key effort to stop the anti terror operation in the sun caught in southern part of ukraine. so the preconditions of for a postponement postponement of this referendum. so marcus you're saying you don't think today's announcement can be seen as an honest attempt to defuse the crisis. when it is of course on the sign of hope and it is the first to the moon taken by the russian side. we did that we have to wait in seo which influence the kremlin really has. on the separatist movement in eastern ukraine and which in

theory can see he would have on the grounds of because of intentions of very high altitude. the data caches in the death of the hatred and to tensions increased done between the pro russian and ukrainian of people on the ground and its idea of indomitable of whether the kremlin can buy in to get control of the streets in ukraine. that is the question how much influence do you think that the kremlin really has on the separatists in the east. i suppose they have from an influence on the as separate as pro russian movement of awesome scary. oh we are ago one of the separatist leaders of the so call it done it's deep it's republicans pushing him as saying. the russian news agency that they would discuss the president to proteins their own proposal on thursday. they respected this proposal and to maybe they are ready to postpone by marcus ran joining us from moscow thanks very much

note to eastern ukraine to donate square of course one of the stinkin is standing by if russians responded bits you could please call to postpone the book. well shortly after news came out about putin's announcement. i called one of the up as self proclaimed separate its leaders and at first i couldn't even understand what you're saying but he was simply a state of shock on it turns out that the separate is a plan to meet tomorrow and make a final decision. um later i went to the square where i'm in front of the oct five regional administration building the headquarters of the separatist movement. um the people there were also very glum oh one woman told me that which is worse had been taken out of khan's a context that they would hold the referendum anyway and any and that the preaching was not their president. ah but the president of the different countries. so you think they will push ahead with the bar um

the people on the square today were very defiant however aunt and i do think the separatist leaders oh one to just take it a kiss a short breather. um and as as as the leader told me one of the leaders i spoke to this evening there suffered a go he told me of that the first one to waive all factors. um so i don't think they've made a final decision either just briefly do you tell us more about ukrainian ministry operations in the region well the standoff outside of slow danced it continues on today we have some more numbers since the beginning of the operation of fourteen ukrainian servicemen are reported to be killed the number of separatists is uncertain but it from above it's assumed that at least twice as many have been killed. palm. furthermore there are also reports from around the demonstration in the neighboring logan's creation of of regional administration buildings of being captured the thing that people are really worried about right now but
