Parliament said the decision would be put to the Crimean people for their verdict in a referendum on 16 March.

A government minister in Kiev said they believe it would be unconstitutional for Crimea to join Russia.

Crimea, a region whose population is mostly ethnic Russian, has been at the centre of tensions following the fall of Ukraine's pro-Moscow president.

Pro-Russian and Russian forces have been in de facto control of the peninsula, which already enjoys a degree of autonomy from Kiev, for several days.

The announcement from Crimea's parliament comes as EU leaders are meeting in Brussels to discuss how to respond to Russia's troop deployment on Ukrainian soil.

The Crimean parliament resolved "to enter into the Russian Federation with the rights of a subject of the Russian Federation".

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian media that President Vladimir Putin had been informed of the Crimean vote.

Sources in the Crimean parliament have told the BBC they are now waiting for a response from Moscow to their request for Crimea to become a part of Russia.

Ukraine's interim Economy Minister Pavlo Sheremeta, speaking in Kiev soon after the announcement was made, said: "We're not working out what to do if Crimea joins the Russian Federation because we believe it's unconstitutional."

"He [Putin] is scared of what is happening because the [Ukrainian] people don't want to…live with this corruption, live without human rights and that is why the people want the changes," he said.---

Klitschko, who is leader of the leader of the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform and a Member of the Ukrainian Parliament, said he hoped that recent political events in Ukraine set an example for Russia, and disputed Putin's description of the new Ukrainian government as "illegitimate."

"If Ukraine [is] very successful in [a] democratic movement, it's a good example for Russia. Without Ukraine, Russia can never be an empire, and that's why I think Russia tried to stop the presidential elections," he said.---

"I spent a lot of time in Europe. I spent a lot of time in United States, I know what is modern standards of life… and always if I return to my home country, I ask my country why very simple things what works everywhere else in the world doesn't work in Ukraine?" he said.---

"Ukraine is famous as [the] most corrupt country in the European Union, and politics in Ukraine is business… Just one way to change situation, [is to] go into politics and try to change from inside," he said.

"I know it's a very difficult task…but Poland is doing it. Poland [has had] success, [along with the] Czech [Republic], Slovak Republic, Hungary, Georgia was also very successful, and we Ukraine have much more potential," he added.
