Russian President Vladimir Putin has been granted permission by his parliament this afternoon to use the country's military in Ukraine.
The move could formalise what Ukrainian officials described as an armed occupation taking place in the strategic region of Crimea.
It came as supporters of Russia and the new Ukrainian government clashed elsewhere in the country, with bloodied protesters visible on the streets of Kharkiv after a show of strength from pro-Russian activists.
