Crimeans voted overwhelmingly Sunday to join former political master Russia as tensions soared in the east of the splintered ex-Soviet nation, in the worst East-West crisis since the Cold War.

Partial results with more than half the ballots counted showed 95.5 percent of voters were in favour of leaving Ukraine.

    When Putin flew into the Ukrainian port of Sevastopol in Crimea last year, he made a pilgrimage to several sites associated with Russia’s tumultuous history. Crimea is vital to Putin legacy. For Putin, Crimea has been a small part of Russia, heavy with historic and symbolic importance, trapped in a foreign land since the 1991
