Here in Crimea's capital, there is an uneasy atmosphere. Ukraine says that Russia sent armored personnel carriers and helicopters to take over an area on a strip of a land right next to Crimea.

But Russia remains in firm military control of Crimea itself, wherever you look here, there are posters encouraging a yes vote in the referendum. There is no option on the ballot paper for a no vote to keep things as they are. So Crimeans who want to stay with Ukraine say that there is little point in their going to vote.

“俄罗斯无法改变这样的现实,即悍然触犯国际法的做法是要承担后果的,这也无法改变克里米亚的状态,克里米亚现在是乌克兰的一部分,明天是,下周也还是,除非乌克兰人民和乌克兰法律作出改变,否则克里米亚永远是乌克兰的一部分。”
