The Ukrainian constitution prohibited the referendum on independence that was carried out in Crimea in the presence of Russian troops. With the vote to leave Ukraine and join the Russian Federation illegal by any reckoning, the international community, as the EU has declared, cannot accept the outcome.
乌克兰宪法禁止在俄罗斯大兵压境的情况下就克里米亚独立问题进行公投。随着克里米亚投票无论以何种标准衡量都以非法方式脱离乌克兰加入俄联邦，以欧盟为代表的国际社会宣布拒绝接受这一结果。
