    Russia President Putin: West Crossed Line, Crimea's Move similar to Ukraine's Move from Soviet.

    President Vladimir Putin fiercely defended Russia's move to annex Crimea, saying Tuesday that the rights of ethnic Russians have been abused by the new Ukrainian government.
    In a televised address to the nation, he said Crimea's vote Sunday to join Russia was in line with international law, reflecting its right for self-determination.
    To back the claim, he pointed to Kosovo's independence bid from Serbia — supported by the West and opposed by Russia — and said that Crimea's secession from Ukraine repeats Ukraine's own secession from the Soviet Union in 1991.
    He denied Western accusations that Russia invaded Crimea prior to the referendum, saying Russian troops were sent there in line with a treaty with Ukraine that allows Russia to have up to 25,000 troops at its Black Sea Fleet base in Crimea.

    'The (Crimean) issue has a vital importance, a historic importance for all of us,' Putin said


    Putin also said Russian relations with 'brotherly' Ukrainians will always be important to Russia.

    Earlier, Putin approved a draft bill for the annexation of Crimea, a key move in a flurry of steps to formally take over the Black Sea peninsula.

    Obama announces expanded sanctions on Russia in response to Crimea referendum

    President Barack Obama announced Monday at the White House, that he plans to impose sanctions on specific individuals who have undermined the sovereignty of Ukraine, including Russian officials.

    'The referendum in Crimea was in clear violation of Ukrainian and international law and will not be recognized by the international community,' Obama said in response to a referendum to determine if Crimea would secede from Ukraine and become part of Russia.

    The president warned that 'continued Russian military intervention in Ukraine will only deepen Russia's diplomatic isolation and exact a greater toll on the Russian economy.'

    In a speech to the Russian parliament, President Vladimir Putin urged the body to accept Crimea as a part of Russia. He additionally addressed the world, saying that the West had crossed a red-line by condoning the coup in Kiev, and that he hoped Ukraine would respect the rights of the predominantly Russian regions in the eastern portion of the country. Putin further stated that Crimea's secession from Ukraine was just like Kosovo's secession from Serbia, and any arguments otherwise are just attempts to bend the West-advocated rules that were applied to the Kosovo case.
