19:05: Chris Morris BBC News says there is strong language in the EU statement - Russia has violated the UN charter and its troops should withdraw to their bases in Crimea without delay. If that doesn't happen by Thursday, when EU leaders will meet in Brussels for an emergency summit, then talk will turn to possible sanctions, some of them diplomatic, some potentially economic.
lol
Pro-Russian protesters attempted to storm the regional government headquarters in the Black Sea port of Odessa, as they rallied outside the building scuffling with security.
Thousands of people protested against the country's new leaders who ousted President Viktor Yanukovich a week ago.
The supporters of the eastern neighbour, which has already sent its troops to the Crimea region, raised the Russian flag as they chanted pro-Russian slogans.

We travelled by road from the Ukrainian capital Kiev to Crimea in the far south.
The journey takes you through endless farmland, ploughed fields of the famous black earth and soviet monuments to the fallen of the Second World War.
As we approached the border we were stopped at a checkpoint by unidentified armed men in combat fatigues.
At first they tried to grab our camera, but Sky News' Moscow bureau cameraman, Vadim Nechaev, managed to talk them around.

Highlights of US President Barack Obama's speech on Ukraine:
The steps Russia has taken in Ukraine are a violation of International law.
People of Ukraine should determine their own destiny.
Russia cannot, with impunity, put soldiers on the ground and violate principles recognised around the World.
Russia is on the wrong side of history.
US is examining a series of economic and diplomatic steps to isolate Moscow.
Putin should allow international monitors to mediate a deal acceptable to all Ukrainian people.
Over time, Russia's actions in Ukraine will be a costly proposition for Moscow.
Congress should provide a package of assistance to the Ukrainian people.
