The population is divided in Crimea, on weather or not to join the Russian Federation, or to stay with Ukraine. Many officials agree with the decision to join Russia but not all the people feel the same way. Crimean's first Deputy Prime Minister Rustam Temirgaliev states that he feels confident that "We will win this vote with 70 to 75% " Many people though beg to differ. The new Ukrainian Prime Minister has called the move "illigitimate and with no legal basis" since the changing of borders must be approved by the whole country. People such as Lana and her family, who were interviewed, also declared that they would rather stay with Ukraine since they have no ties with Russia
