Ukrainian 1st Deputy PM Yarema, acting Defense Minister Tenyukh won't be admitted to Crimea - Crimean PM

MOSCOW. March 19 (Interfax) - Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Yarema and acting Defense Minister Ihor Tenyukh will be barred from entering Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, the Crimean prime minister, told Interfax.

"They are unwelcome in Crimea. Nobody will let them enter Crimea, and they'll be sent back," Aksyonov said.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk had instructed Yarema and Tenyukh to immediately fly to Crimea earlier on Wednesday.
