nick, what was election day like there?reporter: a climate of fear and intimidation imposed by those who don't want to see this part of ukraine stay part of ukraine and declared it as part of its own separate state and local officials say about a quarter of polling stations are opened and only one in ten people were able to cast vote who could have at those places. and we saw today how many people struggle to get an opportunity to cast their vote. this is what voters got in donetsk city, a closed door at polling stations. this is what people in power look like at a pro-russian valley in the very city center and it sounds like this. dozens of separatist militants on truck but one truck was different. full of gunmen from chechnya. what you're about to hear is a startling insight into how involved russia may be here. these men are not only chechen but one said he was a russian policeman.
