"Ukraine or Russia?" Crimea referendum set for March 16
A referendum on the status of Crimea will be held March 16, the region's deputy prime minister announced.
Crimeans will be asked to decide if the autonomous republic stays part of Ukraine or joins Russia.
The new date is two weeks earlier than the one announced last week.
There will be two questions on the ballots.
The first one: Are you in favor of Crimea becoming a constituent territory of the Russian Federation. The second one: Are you in favor of restoring Crimea's 1992 constitution.
According to the 1992 constitution, the autonomous republic is part of Ukraine but has relations with Kiev, defined on the basis of mutual agreements.
