Here's what has happened so far today:

• Crimea's new Kremlin-backed government announced that it would ask to join Russia and hold a referendum on March 16.
• Russia's legislature started the process of accepting the strategic Black Sea port.
• A Crimean politician told Guardian journalist Shaun Walker that "Russia is already part of Russia".
• Crimea's deputy prime minster said that Ukrainian soldiers in Crimea were 'occupiers.'
• The U.S. announced sanctions on select Russians and Americans.

Ukraine and the U.S. both say that the secession vote would be illegitimate without the cooperation of Kiev.
