Referendum in Crimea fully complied with international law norms,
Russian President Vladimir Putin said early Monday morning in a
conversation with U.S. President Barack Obama.
He said he believes that the monitoring mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe should cover all the Ukrainian regions.
The two presidents said that, in spite of differences in Russian and American assessments of the situation around the referendum in Crimea, it was important to continue searching for ways of assistance to stabilization in Ukraine.

The
White House on Sunday rejected the referendum in Ukraine's Crimea
region and said Russia will pay a price for its military intervention in
the region through sanctions and increased instability.
"As the United States and our allies have made clear, military intervention and violation of international law will bring increasing costs for Russia - not only due to measures imposed by the United States and our allies but also as a direct result of Russia's own destabilizing actions," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement.
"In this century, we are long past the days when the international community will stand quietly by while one country forcibly seizes the territory of another," he said.

En este contexto, los mandatarios consideraron el envío a Ucrania de una misión de vigilancia de la OSCE. "De acuerdo con el presidente de Rusia, la actividad de una misión de este tipo debería extenderse a todas las regiones de Ucrania " - informó en el Kremlin.
"En relación con el referéndum celebrado en Crimea Vladimir Putin destacó que transcurrió totalmente en coherencia con el derecho internacional y la Carta de las Naciones Unidas y se tuvo en cuenta, en particular, el famoso precedente de Kosovo.
