 Ukraine believes that the actions of the Crimean parliament, Russian State Duma and Federation Council of Russia's Federal Assembly were coordinated beforehand.

 “Everything that’s happening now, both the resolution of the Crimean
Supreme Council and claims of the Federation Council and State Duma of
Russia specifically indicate that these were coordinated actions,” the
Foreign Ministry spokesman Yevhen Perebyinis said.

According to him, ” now we can see their true colors, and why it all began.”

Perebyinis stressed that the resolution of the Crimean parliament on
joining Russia was illegitimate and Ukrainian party will continue
working with the international partners to settle the situation.
