Russian President Vladimir Putin told President Barack Obama on Sunday that a Crimean referendum to break away from Ukraine was legal according to international law, according to a statement from Kremlin — and preliminary poll results showed a vast majority of voters in the autonomous region are in favor of joining Russia.

With three-quarters of ballots counted, an overwhelming 95.7 percent voted to become a part of Russia, while just 3 percent voted to remain part of Ukraine, said Mikhail Malyshev, chairman of the Crimean Election Committee.

Turnout was 83 percent, he added — a high figure given that many who opposed the move had said they would boycott the vote.

Still, Western powers and leaders in Kiev denounced it as a sham.
