AFP Ukraine election 'will not happen' in Donetsk, rebel leader says

Donetsk (Ukraine) (AFP) - A presidential election in Ukraine set for May 25 seen by the West as vital to restoring order "will not happen" in the Donetsk region, the self-styled governor of the province said Monday.

Speaking to reporters a day after a referendum considered a farce by Kiev and the West, Denis Pushilin from the "People's Republic of Donetsk" also said there would not be a vote on joining Russia next week as many had suspected.

Led by US President Barack Obama, Western powers have threatened to step up sanctions against Russia, which they blame for stoking unrest in eastern Ukraine, if the presidential election does not go ahead as planned.

Pushilin claimed he now had a mandate from the people after a "referendum" he said delivered a 89-percent result in favour of independence with a voter turnout of 75 percent.

"We have received sovereignty, the right to decide independently to enter into a confederation or federation with any country," he said.

"Which country that could be will be decided after consultations with our experts," he added.

Only Russia is likely to recognise the "People's Republic of Donetsk" and the Kremlin has already said it "respects the expression of the people's will" there.

Ominously, Pushilin said he reserves the right to call for a "peacekeeping contingent" if the security situation in the region deteriorated although he did not specify from where.

Moscow has also reserved the right to take military action to protect what it sees as the interests of Russian speakers in Ukraine.

The sparkling form of Alexis Sanchez and some fine recent form have left Chile dreaming of progressing beyond the last 16 of the World Cup for the first time in more than half a century.

Four years ago, Chile tumbled out of the tournament in their first knockout game, beaten by Brazil in a repeat of their exit at the same stage, also against Brazil, at the 1998 finals in France.

Brazil could well be waiting for Chile in the last 16 once more if they finish as runners-up in a demanding Group B which also includes defending champions Spain, a powerful but unpredictable Netherlands side and Australia.

Yet even with the possibility of another encounter with the Brazilians looming on the horizon, Chile - who finished third as hosts back in 1962 - will head to the tournament fearing no-one.

They finished South America's qualifying tournament as very much the form team, winning five of their last six games in impressive style after a faltering start to the campaign was put firmly back on track when Argentinian coach Jorge Sampaoli replaced the sacked Claudio Borghi in late 2012.

La Roja served notice of their emergence in September last year, when they led twice against Spain in a Geneva friendly before the world champions scrambled a late equaliser to snatch a 2-2 draw.

They then outclassed England at Wembley, winning 2-0 courtesy of goals in each half from Barcelona forward Sanchez.

Only a 90th-minute Robinho goal denied Chile a draw with Brazil in another friendly in November, when they lost 2-1.

The Chileans were also unlucky to lose 1-0 to Germany in March, when they dominated the game to such an extent that German fans were reduced to booing their own team.

Under Sampaoli, Chile have resurrected the high-tempo pressing game they adopted to great effect under another Argentine, Marcelo Bielsa, who coached them at the 2010 finals.
