Perevalnoye, Ukraine (CNN) -- First numbers from the referendum on whether Ukraine's Crimea region should join Russia or become an independent state will be announced soon after polls close Sunday night, an official said.

Crimea's Prime Minister Sergey Aksyonov tweeted that preliminary results in the disputed voting will be read at 8:30 p.m. (2:30 p.m. ET) from a stage in Lenin Square in the region's capital, Simferopol.

The United States has already said it expects the Black Sea peninsula's majority ethnic Russian population to vote in favor of joining Russia. Moscow has strongly backed the referendum.

The voting has put the United States and Russia on the kind of collision course not seen since the end of the Cold War. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry reaffirmed in a call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Sunday that the United States considered the referendum illegal under Ukrainian law and that the United States would not recognize the outcome.

The European Union on Sunday repeated its "strong condemnation" of the referendum and called on Russia to withdraw its troops from the region.

Lavrov said in a statement Saturday that Crimea's referendum conforms to international law.

European nations and the United States have announced some targeted punishments against Russia and have threatened tougher sanctions if the secession vote goes through.

Kicking off the polling in a prerecorded statement, Aksyonov called on the residents of Crimea to cast their vote "independent of nationalism and disintegration."
