While the images and local news have been suggesting that Russia is in control on the Crimean peninsula, US officials (according to Bloomberg) have confirmed this:
.*RUSSIAN FORCES IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF CRIMEA: U.S. OFFICIAL
.*RUSSIA HAS 6,000 TROOPS IN CRIMEA, U.S. OFFICIAL SAYS
.*KERRY TO REAFFIRM SUPPORT FOR UKRANIAN SOVEREIGNTY, PSAKI SAYS
Obama, Merkel, and Cameron are now on a conference call to discuss this "fact" and officials have just reported that US Secretary of State John Kerry will visit Kiev tomorrow (though we suspect not Sevastopol):
.U.S. IS FOCUSED ON ECONOMIC, POLITICAL AND DIPLOMATIC OPTIONS ON UKRAINE,
NOT ON ANY POSSIBLE U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTION, U.S. OFFICIAL SAYS
.*U.S. CONSIDERING SANCTIONS ON RUSSIAN BANKS, OFFICIAL SAYS
