Crimea has now voted to secede from Ukraine and join Russia with 93% being the currently polled number. Aseemingly impossible number but given that the Tatar community has declared they will boycot the vote generally stating they hate both groups and various non-Ukrainian non-Russian minorities supporting Russia it is actually not surprising given the polling places quickly became locations of Pro-Russian fervor and there have been more than a few clashes throughout Ukraine between supporters of either side so Pro-Ukrainian turnout was likely extremely low.

US and Uk have declared they will begin freezing assets and suspending travel VISA's though have backed down from their early hardline saying they will start with low ranking official so they have somewhere to escalate to. On Monday various EU leaders will hold a meeting to see if the EU will follow through on sanctions as well.
