Ukraine Crisis Continues As The Crimea Prepares To Vote In The Referendum

SIMFEROPOL, UKRAINE - MARCH 08: Pro-Russian sympathizers bearing a Russian flag march past pro-Ukrainian sympathizers gathered and waving Ukrainian flags on March 8, 2014 in Simferopol, Ukraine. Several hundred pro-Ukrainian protesters marched peacefully through the city center to a Ukrainian military base that has been blockaded by pro-Russian militants and soldiers. Diplomats and heads of state are still seeking to diffuse the potentially volatile crisis that has developed since pro-Russian forces seized power in Crimea and are seeking to join the peninsula with Russia.
