Ukraine separatist says will form own state bodies, military after vote

KIEV (Reuters) - A separatist leader from Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region said it would form its own state bodies and consider government soldiers there as "occupiers" once results were announced from Sunday's self-rule referendum, Interfax news agency said. "All military troops on our territory after the official announcement of referendum results will be considered illegal and declared occupiers," Denis Pushilin, a leader of the self-styled Donetsk republic said, according to the agency. "It is necessary to form state bodies and military authorities as soon as possible," Interfax said he added. (Reporting by Aleksandar Vasovic; Editing by Andrew Heavens)
