Ukraine crisis: Obama orders ban on Crimea trade
US President Barack Obama has ordered a ban on the export of goods, technology and services to Crimea.
The executive order also imposes new sanctions on certain Russian and Ukrainian individuals and companies.

Mr Obama said his latest decision was to show that the US would not accept Russia's annexation.
