The newspaper based the claim on an unnamed Russian senator and a source close to the Crimean administration.
It has been described as ‘fraud’ by the western states and Kyiv, and the result has been declared unrecognizable.
Moscow held a similar referendum in Crimea, which it occupied in 2014, and this land was annexed upon the result of 97 percent in favor of accession to Russia.
Many countries, including Turkey, still consider Crimea as Ukrainian territory.
