美歐宣佈對俄官員和一些烏克蘭人制裁
The White House has declared a freeze on assets of 11 Russian officials linked to the political push for Crimea's independence from Ukraine and possible annexation by Russia.
The Obama administration announced the sanctions Monday following the European Union, which designated 21 officials from Russia and Ukraine for travel bans and trade sanctions.
The moves came in response to Crimea's declaration of independence from Ukraine Monday and it plans to apply to become part of Russia. Crimea's regional assembly declared independence for the region after a referendum on Sunday indicated voters' overwhelming support for joining the Russian Federation.
In addition to responses from the U.S. and the European Union, NATO released a statement Monday calling the vote "illegal and illegitimate." It said the vote violates the Ukrainian constitution and international law, and added that the circumstances under which the referendum was held were "deeply flawed and therefore unacceptable."
Despite objections from the international community, a delegation of Crimean lawmakers is traveling to Moscow Monday to discuss additional procedures required to become part of the Russian Federation.
Ukraine's parliament has approved a partial mobilization of reservists in response to the crisis.美國白宮宣佈凍結11名俄羅斯官員的資產，說他們跟政治推動克里米亞脫離烏克蘭、致使克里米亞可能被俄羅斯吞併有關聯。
奧巴馬政府星期一宣佈了制裁決定。此前，歐盟決定對俄羅斯和烏克蘭的21名官員實行旅行和貿易制裁。
此舉是對克里米亞星期一宣佈脫離烏克蘭，並計劃申請加入俄羅斯做出的迴應。一天前克里米亞舉行全民公投，絕大多數選民贊成加入俄羅斯聯邦。之後，克里米亞議會宣佈克里米亞地區獨立。
此外，北約星期一發表聲明，稱克里米亞公投是“非法和不正當”的。聲明說，公投違反了烏克蘭憲法和國際法，還說，公投舉行的條件存在“嚴重缺陷，因此是不可接受的。”
克里米亞不顧國際社會的反對，星期一派出代表團前往莫斯科，就加入俄羅斯聯邦所需要的其它程序進行磋商。
與此同時，烏克蘭議會批准對預備役人員進行局部動員，以應對目前的危機。
